About

We are passionate about sharing science and space exploration with our community. Our Explorer Camps introduce hundreds of children to the wonders of space exploration. That said, keeping your children safe is our first priority. That is why you will find some changes to the Explorer Camp processes this year.

Explorer Camps have a new streamlined registration process. Submit all your camper info and pay in one convenient place. Plus, make changes or updates to your camp purchase by logging in to your account.

Please note: For multi-day camps, campers do not stay overnight.

Get ready for lift-off into STEM-powered fun! At Space Center Houston's Explorer Camps, kids engage in hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math challenges that bring space exploration to life. From programming robots and designing space habitats to launching rockets and solving real-world engineering problems, each day sparks creativity and critical thinking.

Perfect for curious minds in Pre-K through 11 years old, our camps inspire future astronauts, engineers, and innovators. Campers build teamwork skills, gain confidence, and learn from expert educators at the official visitor center of NASA, Johnson Space Center.
