Spring Break is fast approaching. There is just over one month before school districts in Florida take time off to provide their students with a break from structured, formal learning, and even more so, a well-deserved break for educators who take great care of our community’s children.

For kids, spring break is often seen as a time to unwind and recharge—but it can also be a powerful opportunity for kids to grow, explore, and thrive outside the traditional classroom. At Space Trek’s spring break camps, students won’t just take a break from school—they dive into a week of fun, creativity, discovery, and learning in a dynamic, hands-on environment.

Below are our Top 7 reasons to enroll your student into a Space Trek spring break camp this year!

1.      Space learning is COOL. Whether it’s launching rockets or programming robots for missions to Mars, kids of all skill levels have an opportunity to learn in our state-of-the-art SPACE Learning Lab, located in the Center for Space Education at Kennedy Space Centre.

2.      Just learning about robotics and rocketry? No problem. In our Astro Pioneers camps, students will take their first giant leap into aeronautics, robotics and rocketry. Build, program, and launch while navigating missions and mastering space science one challenge at a time.

3.      Need a more challenging mission? We’ve got one for you. In our Orbital Engineers/Mission Robotics camps, students will elevate their engineering skills to orbital levels! From Arduino-powered robots to precision rocket launches, this camp challenges you to design, code, and conquer space-inspired missions. Students will build confidence in using AI, coding, robotics, and advanced engineering concepts.

4.      Develop confidence while honing leadership and collaborative skills. While engagingin creative problem-solving and collaborative teamwork, students will strengthen their leadership abilities through our team-based missions to build rockets and navigate our ExoNaut robots to complete successful missions. Developing perseverance, resilience and grit is a part of the Space Trek spring break experience!

5.      Build new friendships and create exciting memories.Being away from the classroom and one’s usual routine, school breaks can sometimes feel isolating for a student. Our Space Trek spring break camps bring together kids from different schools and backgrounds, providing a chance to make new connections and broaden their social horizons based on their interests in STEM and space science. The friendships and memories formed during spring camp can have a lasting positive impact on a student’s life.

6.      We’re in Kennedy Space Center’s backyard. Our SPACE Learning Lab is located within the Center for Space Education at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and students will have the opportunity to take guided tours with our learning team during the spring break experiences. The tours will connect students in our camps to the accomplishments of yesterday and the dreams of tomorrow.

7.      Stay in a healthy learning routine. While it’s tempting for kids to stay up late and sleep in during the break, a week of unstructured time can lead to disrupted routines. Our Space Trek Spring Break camps help students maintain a sense of structure, making it easier to transition back into school mode when the break ends.

 Space Trek’s Spring Break camps are an excellent way to ensure kids stay active, social, and engaged while also providing parents with peace of mind. Instead of scrambling for ways to keep kids entertained during the break, consider signing them up for an out-of-this-world camp experience they’ll never forget!
