What families say
“I kept coming back to AstroCamp because of the community building and the friendships I’ve made along the way. It’s one of the few places where I feel at home and I can be the person I want to be. AstroCamp is not a location, it’s the people who work tirelessly to make it all happen, and without the hardworking staff I don’t think I would have attended for almost a decade.” — Solomon, 9th Year Camper
“Son went with his good friend and they had blast! From the activities to their camp counselor, they came back with joy filled stories and experiences! He loved the outdoor education, meals from the kitchen and the overall experience. Highly recommend as will surely do it again next year!” — Corinne, 1st Year Camper Parent
