Description
The North American Aerospace Museum (noramaerospace.org) offers Day Camps for students in grades K-8 (ages 5-14) in greater northwest Oregon.
Providing families with a half-day or a full day's schedule of activities and experiences, the Day Camp is a fruitful alternative to high-quality day care or learning activities beyond the classroom.
Day Camps are scheduled on no-school days aligned with the McMinnville, Yamhill-Carlton, Newberg-Dundee, Washington County, Portland Public Schools, Clackamas County, and Salem-Keiser school districts.
Our Day Camps are led by professional museum educators trained in delivering tours, STEAM-based activities, and tons of engaged fun!
Each Day is guided with a mystery aerospace theme and informed by NASA-based content to keep our experiences fresh and exciting for devoted campers.
