Space Camp Valencia
REAL training for young astronauts
An Unforgettable
Space Adventure
Take the first step to the greatest adventure of your life with Space Camp, the only camp in Spain that prepares young people aged 10 to 17 years for the future of space exploration.
Train like an authentic astronaut: piloting real planes, experiencing the absence of gravity, building and launching rockets, and diving into space missions through virtual reality.
Discover our UNIQUE activities 🚀
Pilot aircrafts
Feel the emotion of flying an ultralight aircraft, as the copilot. Under the guidance of professional pilots, you will learn the fundamentals of flying, and will take off from an aerodrome to fly over Valencia’s skies in an ultralight aircraft. A safe and exciting experience that you will never forget.
Work without Gravity
Work like astronauts in zero gravity conditions in pools which emulate being in outer space. You will experience weightlessness, and learn to move around and work in zero gravity, whilst strengthening your collaborative work with a team of professional divers.
Physical and Mental Training
Prepare for the challenge of space travel with our physical and mental training. Use the human gyroscope to simulate the conditions of a space launch and docking with the ISS, whilst keeping a cool head and staying in control at all times.
Operate in the ISS
Explore the ISS (International Space Station) with the help of Virtual Reality. Learn to move through the ISS in zero gravity, by grabbing the handrails. Undertake a spacewalk to repair the outer shell of the ISS while maintaining contact and communication with Houston at all times.
Build and Launch a Rocket
Discover aerospace engineering by building your own rocket in a collaborative activity with PLD Space. You'll learn about aerodynamics, flight mechanics, and mission control. Prepare your rocket for takeoff and ensure it reaches its destination.
Exploration with the ExoMars Rover
Learn robotic engineering by building an autonomous rover to explore Mars. Delve into the fundamentals of design, mechanics and programming to create a vehicle capable of searching for water and life on the surface of Mars, practice with the simulator and drive a scale prototype.
Mars Mission
Space Camp Valencia has developed an exclusive and immersive activity in which aspiring astronauts embark on an exciting journey to Mars through Virtual Reality, where they must face challenges and complete a unique mission designed to put their skills to the test.
Are we alone in the universe?
Through practical biology and chemistry experiments, you will delve into the essence of life, deciphering what it means and evaluating the possibility of its existence on other planets. Imagine how extraterrestrial life would be, and where it could be found.
Get all the INSIGNIAs
Space Camp ambassadors represent different areas of space knowledge. Each of them will offer you a unique challenge: from building a prototype, to solving a scientific enigma or facing a challenge. Passing their tests will allow you to earn badges that recognize your progress. Only the most perseverant will manage to complete all the challenges and reach the rank of Space Explorer.
Clean Room Workshop
Did you know that some bacteria survive on the outside of a spacecraft? In this workshop we will enter a real clean room with SPB, like the ones used in the aerospace industry to maintain extremely clean conditions. You will learn why it is so important to avoid any kind of biological contamination.
Hachkathon: "Save the Egg".
Throughout the week, you will work on the design and construction of a system that allows you to launch an egg from a second floor without it breaking upon impact with the ground. You will have at your disposal materials, tools, and the support of a mentor from the UPV and PLD experts. Will you manage to save your egg?
Mission Control
In this experience you will take command of the control room of a space mission. You will be responsible for guiding the astronaut team from Earth, managing their communications, controlling operations and making critical decisions in real time. You will learn to stay calm under pressure and solve unexpected problems.
