EPIC Camp Sessions:
Focus on STEAM concepts: connecting the critical learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with the arts—to spark inquiry and innovation for students.
Deliver hands-on, real-world activities for students—to foster collaboration.
Provide a positive, small-group environment for students—with a 10:1 student/instructor ratio.
EPIC Camp Services facilitate all logistics, including student recruitment materials, online registration, content, staff management, and oversight.
New features this year will be space activities from Blue Origin® and the Lego® Learning System with Lego Spike Prime™ and Lego Spike™ Essential Robotics! The Lego Learning System is a scalable learning system based on the familiar LEGO brick that is intuitive, inclusive, and adaptable. The system is easy to implement and helps students learn through playful, hands-on STEAM learning K-8! Can be amended for higher grade levels.
Let us help you create a memorable, interactive space camp experience for your students. Select your camp length, choose your modules, select any enhanced services, and you will be ready to go!

Employability and life skills
College and career preparedness
DIGITAL CURRICULUM
We offer innovative K-12 curriculum that pulls in the key concepts of space exploration into a fascinating discussion that includes assignments and lesson plans that fit into the English Language Arts (ELA) classroom.
Our team can create custom curriculum for you and help you to assess your current curriculum investments and align them to our new era of remote and digital learning.
The K-12 Space Education Curriculum is built on concepts that include science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) and essential elements of ELA, such as:
Engaging students in a robust study of science concepts while they build powerful literacy skills.
Giving students opportunities to develop their own answers to timely and timeless questions about space through inquiry-based research projects.
Providing students with opportunities to investigate the science embedded in these questions and participate in collaborative group problem-solving.
Incorporating reading and writing about complex, authentic, informational text into the lessons.
GIANT MOON AND MARS MAPS - Make Learning Fun!
Our giant Moon and Mars floor maps include lesson plans, a robotic rover, and an engaging virtual reality component!
