Do you nerd out with NASA or SPACE-X stuff? Are you thinking about Engineering as a possible career?
Come spend a week at the BJU Aerospace Engineering EduCamp where we will teach you about how satellites work in space and what it takes to get them launched into orbit like NASA. You will learn how to communicate with orbiting satellites and even try your hand at listening to an actual satellite from space. You will also work together as a team to design your own satellite mission.
Camp check-in for all campers is on Sunday between 2–4 p.m. at the Welcome Center.
Day camp drop-off each day will be from 8–8:30 a.m. at the Welcome Center.
When you arrive on campus, follow the signs to the Welcome Center to check-in. Our camp counselors will give you your camp schedule and camp T-shirt. If you have a camp balance, you can take care of it at this time.
Day Camp pick-up each day will be from 4:30–5 p.m. in the Welcome Center. Camps generally end on Friday at noon. Check your specific camp schedule for times of final presentations, performances or concerts that may take place after noon on Friday.
Day campers must live in or stay with family in the immediate Greenville area.
Campers may be required to be on campus from 8:30 a.m.–9 p.m. on camp days.
Check your camp schedule for specific details.
Day campers can also enjoy a fun highlight of our camp experience, the Bruins Bash, on Wednesday from 7–9 p.m.
Lunch and dinner are included in the camp cost.
Phones may be used at certain time during the week of camp depending upon activities.
A modest amount of spending money is suggested for The Den, vending machines and Bruins Shop.
