Where can a Latitude Group Travel Space Camp tour take you?
Space Camp Huntsville, AL – Advanced Space Academy
The Advanced Space Academy® in Huntsville, AL, is one of the most iconic Space Camp experiences. This immersive 5-day program is designed for students preparing for university or STEM careers. It offers a deep dive into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through hands-on astronaut training. Trainees take part in thrilling activities like the 1/6th Gravity Chair, neutral buoyancy simulations, and the Area 51 Challenge Course. They’ll also build a Rover, fly jet aircraft simulators, and prepare for an extended simulated mission to Mars. Perfect for school groups seeking student space tours in the USA that are both fun and educational.
Kennedy Space Centre, Cape Canaveral, Florida
Located in Cape Canaveral, the Kennedy Space Center offers flexible programs ideal for student group travel to NASA. Choose from 1-hour, 3-day, or full 5-day programs tailored for students aged 10–17. The 5-day Space Camp program includes:
Astronaut Training Experience (ATX): Launch, land, and walk on Mars in simulation.
Mars Base 1: Tackle the challenges of living on the Red Planet, including microgravity spacewalks.
Meet a real astronaut and take on a team-based Engineering Design Process challenge.
Being close to Orlando’s attractions also makes this a favourite for schools seeking educational and recreational balance.
Space Centre Houston – Space Centre University, Texas
Based near the Johnson Space Center in Texas, Space Center University (Space Center U) offers a 3-day or 5-day intensive NASA space program for students. This program focuses on solving real-world space challenges using teamwork, problem-solving, and engineering.
Students explore robotics, rocketry, thermal protection systems, and space habitat design. They’ll go behind the scenes at NASA Johnson Space Center and visit the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, the world’s largest underwater astronaut training facility. This is an ideal program for high school groups looking to experience NASA training in the USA.
