Registration is open for the eighth Summer Space Camp sponsored by The Patuxent Partnership and conducted by St. Mary’s County Public Schools.

The Space Camp provides STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) classes in a fun learning environment for elementary and high school aged students.

Elementary camp is open to students entering second through sixth grades and Secondary Camp to students entering ninth through eleventh grades.

The Space Camp will be held at Great Mills High School; each session is four days, Monday through Thursday. There will be three separate sessions: Secondary Week 1 will be held July 14 to 17; Secondary Week 2 and Elementary Week 1  will be held July 21 to 24; and Elementary Week 2 will be held July 28 to 31. Registration will continue until May 30 or until all spaces are filled. Wait lists will be formed after sessions are filled.

“Summer Space camp was designed to inspire the next generation of STEM workforce,” said TPP Executive Director, Bonnie Green, “Using some of the latest classroom technology, the camp captures the essence of STEM which TPP fully and genuinely supports. Without summer programs like the Space Camp, many students would not have the opportunity or exposure to these STEM experiences.”

“The Summer Space Camp program gives students an opportunity to tap into their sense of curiosity and to extend their knowledge in the STEM fields.” Said Dr. Michael J. Martirano, Superintendent, SMCPS, “We are so grateful for the donation from the PAX Partnership that helps to make the program available for students.”

Online registration is available by visiting the St. Mary’s County Public Schools website at www.smcps.org and clicking on the “Students/Parents” tab. The information can be located under the “Summer Activities” link on the left side of the page.   To register select the session your student would like to attend and fill out the registration form provided.
