Overview
European Space Camp is an independent nonprofit organisation organising a week-long summer camp for youth all over the world aged 17-20, where participants get to learn about space and rocket physics as well as participate in a hands on rocket campaign.
The organisation is made up of previous participants, working entirely on a volunteer basis as part of Team Space Camp.
Details
European Space Camp is an annual week-long summer camp held at Andøya Space in Northern Norway. The next camp is held on Sunday, July 26th to Sunday, August 2nd, 2027. ESC gives the opportunity to 24 young adults to spend six days running different aspects of a real rocket campaign including the launch itself. Scattered throughout the week are a number of lectures from some of Europe’s top scientists and engineers on topics varying from rocket physics to the northern lights.
The week is not purely group work and lectures, plenty social activities are organised too. There is a hike up the mountain to the ALOMAR research station, swimming under the midnight sun followed by a trip to the sauna, as well as volleyball and a GPS challenge, all in the stunning surroundings of Andøya Space. If you are interested, head over to the apply tab to find out how to be a part of ESC.
All ESC participants stay at the Space Center’s hotel in a double room, shared with another participant. All rooms come equipped with an en suite bathroom and sheets and towels are provided, as well as WiFi. The Space Center’s cafeteria caters for all of the meals at camp, and all moderate dietary restrictions are catered for.
The Space Center also comprises an auditorium, smaller meeting rooms and working rooms equipped with computers. In addition, there is a sauna and a games room complete with a pool table and table tennis table.
