Add to your camp’s lineup of activities — or enhance existing strands — with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) resources from NASA. Hear how one camp enhanced its summer program to include astronomy. Explore NASA’s new online catalog for resources that will have your campers making scientific instruments out of common materials, harnessing the energy of the Sun to roast s’mores, exploring nature, and more! Learn how to bring local expertise into your camp for stargazing.
