Students in grades K-5 will experience hands-on activities like exploring rockets, making aliens and space ships and learning with his digital planetarium theater. You won’t want to miss the 36 foot inflatable “space shuttle” slide that Ken will be bringing to camp either!

These young astronauts in training will even get to take a turn on the MAT ride (Multi Axis Trainer) that Ken is bringing to Wood River. It’s a giant gyroscope-type ride that is used as a disorientation screening exercise for pilots and astronauts. Click here for more information and the registration forms! Grades K-5 Grades 6-8
