STARBASE Camp 

STARBASE Camp offers an exciting, hands-on STEM experience designed to spark curiosity and build confidence in young learners. Students explore science, technology, engineering, and math through fun, “hands‑on, minds‑on” activities that encourage problem‑solving, creativity, and teamwork. Campers investigate real-world concepts such as physics, chemistry, energy, engineering design, and emerging technologies, all while working with engaging instructors and positive role models. Throughout the program, students participate in interactive projects—like designing spacecraft, experimenting with robotics, and using computer-aided design tools—that make complex ideas exciting and accessible. STARBASE emphasizes collaboration and communication, helping students strengthen both academic and life skills. STARBASE is especially known for motivating students to pursue future STEM opportunities by showing how science and math connect to real careers and everyday life. It’s a dynamic, confidence-building experience students remember long after camp ends. (https://www.militaryonesource.mil/benefits/dod-starbase-education-program/) 

The registration for this Summer Enrichment camp is not first come-first enrolled, it is a request.  Through our agreement and partnership with Patrick Space Force Base, we will be giving priority enrollment to students of active-duty military families.  Remaining roster spots will be given to students who are not enrolled in another camp during that same week and students who have not yet completed the program during the school year.  For example, if a student is already enrolled in a Summer Enrichment camp for week 1 and has requested registration for week 1 of STARBASE, that student will not be considered for STARBASE.  If a student has already completed the program with their school during the 2025-2026 school year, they will not be placed in the camp unless there are spots open after all other students have been placed.  Students may only participate in one week of STARBASE this summer.
