Virginia Space Flight Academy | Wallops Island VA

Virginia Space Flight Academy is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to offer and inspire young people in programs that enhance their interest in science, technology, engineering and math and related career opportunities.

If it’s “brain-stretching” fun you seek this summer and thrive on the science of space adventure, check out the Virginia Space Flight Academy’s Summer Camps. For middle school students, ages 11-15, it’s an opportunity to build and launch model rockets. You also build and program robots to perform specific tasks. Add some drone flying to the mix, and you have the formula for a fun week at summer camp.

Taking Lego Robotics to the Next Step with Arduino Coding

VSFA's residential space camps bring young people from around the country to Wallops Island every summer.

Coming in 2019 will be our newest initiative to build off-season programs for students from the Virginia/Maryland/Delaware area! Families from these local communities have limited opportunities to attend camp.

Our goal is to change that by offering a variety of STEM-based programs that will build enthusiasm and inspiration for the next generation of home-grown space scientists, technicians, and engineers, sharing the many career opportunities that are right next door at Wallops Island.
