Space Camps in Primary Schools

Space Camp is a programme of residential experiences that you can run yourself in your own school and will immerse your pupils in the amazing world of Space Science. This website aims to support you in planning and developing a Space Camp programme in your school.

After winning the Let Teachers SHINE competition, the pilot for
this project was launched at Shrubland Street Primary School
in Warwickshire in 2013. Following the success of the pilot, The
SHINE Trust supported the Space Camp team in sharing their
project with another 32 schools across the United Kingdom from 2014-2017.
​
Now, as part of the legacy of Professor Stephen Hawking, the
Stephen Hawking Foundation wish to enable access to Space
Camps for a greater number of young people across the UK. The infographic on the left summarises the success of the  working with the Stephen Hawking Foundation.

The Space Camp team are aiming to support over another 120 schools across the United Kingdom in setting up their own Space Camp programmes from autumn 2018 to 2020, leading to Space Camp learning experiences for over 6000 children.

The inspirational theme easily links with many areas of
the curriculum and provides a wealth of fabulous learning
opportunities that will ensure that these are experiences that
will create memories that last a lifetime.

In organising residential learning experiences that fully utilise
the school environment and facilities, schools can provide a
broad extended curriculum that can benefit the entire learning
community for little financial cost.

Space Camps can create incredible, inspirational adventures that are packed with awe and wonder moments, while developing scientific curiosity and creativity beyond the curriculum.
