CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOL GROUPS

Customized camp programs for children and teens are action-packed programs known as “Customized Outer Space Adventure”. These programs are especially popular among middle school students. Customized camp program length and activities can be tailored to better fit the needs of school groups and is available only during the school year and special holidays. The program is conducted only for group reservations. Customized programs for children and teens train youth in space sciences, promotes teamwork through space simulations, simulators adapted from NASA and provides a fundamental understanding of space technology.

MOST POPULAR PROGRAM AMONG INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS

The customized camp programs for children and teens are the most popular program among international schools and continue to be an ideal choice for the “Week Without Walls” program because it involves the students in an authentic, outside-the-classroom experience. It is an opportunity for students to build friendships, develop essential skills, travel to locations outside the school, experience different cultures, and participate in activity-based programs.

• Space Camp Turkey aims to enrich and expand the cognitive and effective aspects of the school curriculum by providing the campers with diverse educational experiences. The customized programs are considered to be one of the best in fostering academic and personal growth through space sciences and exploration.
• The curricular and cultural experiences that students go through at Space Camp Turkey will reinforce self-esteem and provide them a sense of achievement.
• The goal of our programs is to create a unique learning environment otherwise not possible in the daily classroom.
