Lago Mar residents love their lagoon, but when their kids want to go from infinity to beyond, they look to their close neighbor, Space Center Houston. Each year, Space Center Houston engages kids in explorations of science, technology and engineering during a series of age-appropriate day camps. Didn’t sign up? There are a few spots available. Sign up now before they are gone.
Designed for preschool to sixth-grade adventurers, these five-day camps inspire kids to build space habitats, launch rockets and program robots. Camps for 4- and 5-year-old kids run 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Camps for 10- and 11-year-old explorers are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. Camps are $299.95 per camper.
Ages 4-5
