Space U Odyssey uniquely combines NASA-inspired STEM curriculum from Space Center Houston with classic sleepaway camp adventures at Camp Strake.
Space U Odyssey at Camp Strake is a five-day overnight camp that immerses youth ages 11-17 in hands-on STEM experiences inspired by real NASA missions. Campers will engage in astronaut-style challenges, mission simulations, and a field trip to NASA Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston. Activities include rocket building and launching, lunar navigation, a space nutrition challenge, and a capsule drop. Beyond space-themed activities, campers also participate in traditional camp adventures such as swimming, canoeing, climbing, shooting sports, outdoor skills, campfires, and a giant zip line. The program focuses on building teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills through exciting space-themed challenges and real-world space exploration scenarios. Campers will gain firsthand insight into space exploration, mission life, and space science led by Space Center Houston educators.
A typical day includes breakfast, STEM activities like rocket building or lunar navigation, lunch and free time, afternoon adventures such as archery or a ropes course, dinner, and nightly programming with free time.
This camp is best for explorers ages 11-17 who are fascinated by space, enjoy hands-on STEM challenges, and want to experience both space exploration and traditional summer camp activities.
