Stargazing
Stott discusses her experience as an astronaut during evening stargazing. The dark sky offers incredible celestial views, even from the naked eye.
Space-Suit Decorating
Decorate a real space suit with special paints. The completed designs will be worn by astronauts on future space flights.
Postcards to Space
As part of Stott’s international space mail project, guests may write letters or create artwork to send to astronauts. The messages and artwork will be added to contributions from children around the world and sent to astronauts for their space missions.
Space-Training Snorkel Safari
Stott spent 18 days living underwater as part of his training for a space flight at Aquarius Undersea Laboratory. Guests may experience this for themselves during a snorkel safari at the property’s house reef.
Other activities available during Space Summer Camp include space snacks, a treasure hunt on Lavadhoo Island, movies under the stars and a bonfire night, complete with s’mores and a talent show.
