Give the gift of Space Camp® by donating to General Space Camp Scholarships.

At Space Camp, our STEM based (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education camps use the excitement of U.S. and international space programs to ignite our trainee’s interest in STEM learning. Our unique program lineup of Space Camp, Aviation Challenge®, U.S. Cyber Camp®, and Robotics Camp® offer real world applications and are a proven work force development tool. Trainees participate in a multi-disciplinary learning environment focused on leadership, teamwork, and the importance of exploration in a variety of career fields.

Space Camp scholarships launch the explorers of tomorrow by offering this unique experience to a trainee that otherwise may not have the opportunity to attend. Donations of all amounts are welcome, and each donation helps to send students to a camp experience that can impact them for a lifetime.

A donation of any amount is welcome! Want to fund a full scholarship? A donation of $2,000 funds a full scholarship to a weeklong camp. Donate today to impact the explorers of tomorrow!

Adopt a piece of history this holiday season! Artifacts at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center play a vital role in our mission as they tell a story through science, engineering, mathematics, and technology feats of past generations. These national treasures not only teach the public about our past, but also play a large role in the education mission of our space, aviation, robotic and cyber camps.

The Adopt an Artifact Program is your opportunity to adopt a piece of history and help us as we honor our past by preserving our historical artifacts of the past and ignite the space stories of the future. Your donation will assist us in our mission of preserving, conserving, and restoring these treasures for future generations so they can better understand the history of space exploration that landed America on the moon. Adoption kits start at $25 and are the perfect gift this holiday season.

Artifacts available to be adopted are:

• Saturn V (replica)
• Pathfinder Shuttle

A field trip to the museum provides inspiration and a STEM experience to local students. However, under-resourced Title I schools and groups are finding it challenging to find funding for exciting out of school opportunities. Since most Title I organizations have policies requiring all students to participate in school activities, funding must be in place before a field trip can be scheduled. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center Education Foundation and the Mad Scientist Bash committee initiated a Museum Field Trip Scholarship Fund with proceeds from the annual Bash. In 2024, over 1100 participants from Title I schools and groups enjoyed a day in the museum thanks to this fund.

A gift of any amount helps ensure more underserved groups and Title I schools can visit the museum in 2025.
