Summer 2026: Ready, Set, Launch!

June 29 - August 14, 2026

This will be one galactic season, as campers explore the science of space. Summer 2026 will deliver a solar eclipse, a lovely Perseid meteor shower, and the 65th anniversary of the first human launch into orbit around the earth. With this real-life calendar of astrological events, campers have plenty of inspiration for crafts that take their imaginations out of this world. Let’s celebrate space and launch into summer fun! 

WEEK 1 : EARTH FIRST

June 29 - July 2 (4 days)

Every journey into space starts right here on Earth. Did you know lots of the elements that make up our planet, and even our own bodies, actually came to us from space? In some ways, we are all made of stardust, as essential elements like phosphorous, sulfur, and oxygen came out of giant exploding stars and made their way to Earth. Carbon and nitrogen also came to Earth from sun-like stars, and hydrogen, the element in water, came from the Big Bang. What happens when we mix some of these earthly elements? Let’s find out! This week, we’ll mix cool chemical compounds, like magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to shake out some really fizzy fun.

WEEK 2 : let’s blast off

July 6 - July 10

Sixty-five years ago, on April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to travel into space and orbit our planet. We will launch our imaginations this week, as campers design and create their own rockets. Using simple materials like balloons and Alka Seltzer tablets, we’ll propel our kid-made creations into the air. Campers will combine the sodium bicarbonate and water needed to make carbon dioxide and the kind of fizz that pops. Our CFG version of aerospace engineering will prove one important theory: that rocket science is fun.

WEEK 3 : What kind of shower?

July 13 - July 17

On July 17th the sky will have a shower - a Perseid meteor shower! While the best views from earth will occur later in August, this annual meteor shower is scheduled to start this week, when our Earth passes through the Comet Swift-Tuttle debris trail. As chunks of rock from this comet trail enter our atmosphere, friction from the resistance of the air causes them to burn up, and streaks of light we often call shooting stars glimmer across the sky. How does air resistance and the force of gravity burn heavy rock? Campers will dissolve pretend meteors they make from scratch, design and race parachutes, even wish upon a star to demystify the magic of meteor showers.

WEEK 4 : Space race

July 20 - July 24

On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 spaceflight changed the way we think about the world and our place in the universe. Hours after the lunar module Eagle landed, Neil Armstrong backed down its ladder to the moon’s surface, taking “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was the very first time a human set foot on a planetary body other than our Earth. Campers will make craters, design a particularly delicious diagram of the phases of the moon, and craft their own mobile space shuttle to blast off to destinations that could only come from their imaginations.

WEEK 5 : The eagle has landed

July 27 - July 31

Taking off is exciting; landing is important, too. And the rovers of the future will need to be strong enough to explore planets and moons other than our own. This week, we’ll take off with recyclables, learn how to absorb the shock of a touch down by testing various materials, and build super strong structures with items so delicate, it will require fun experimentation to configure them so they don’t break.

WEEK 6 : Aeronautics in Our Atmosphere

August 3 - August 7

Just as they did with the lunar module Eagle, NASA engineers continue to design spacecraft that will help astronauts travel to – and through – space. Some of their out of this world designs are helpful here on Earth. Right now, NASA engineers are tinkering with wing designs they think might revolutionize the way airplanes work in the future. Using pasta, toothpicks, marshmallows, paper, and balloons, campers will engineer fun vehicles to try to lift marble payloads to the ceiling, design wing ring gliders to understand how we can more efficiently move airline passengers around our own planet, and come up with their own innovative designs to carry them anywhere their imaginations want to go.

WEEK 7 : Super Solar Star Power

August 10 - August 14

On August 12th, parts of Europe will experience a total solar eclipse. Did you know that our sun is actually a star? While our special star appears in a familiar way to signal the start of each day, at night anyone can look up to observe other suns that we call stars. Could there be life circling another star elsewhere in the universe? This week, we’ll consider the many benefits of our own life-giving sun, with activities like using a camper-created solar oven to cook food suitable for human consumption. We’ll also think about the possibility of otherworldly life on faraway planets that orbit their own suns. We’ll have fun thinking about stars, including star patterns called constellations. Those steady lights in the night sky have inspired humans, who, through the millennia, have looked up and wondered, “What’s out there?”

 
REGISTER SOON

PLEASE view OUR CAMPER GROUPs BELOW

Select your camper group below based on your child's rising grade for the 2025-2026 school year. Click the Register button to register online. Please note: In order to participate in the Explorers group, your child must turn 4 by December 31, 2025.

EXPLORERS

Rising Pre-K

Our youngest campers get to do everything the big kids do, but with extra time and extra care in place. While we do not offer a nap time, there is a rest time in the afternoon. They play soccer, garden, go on walking field trips, and enjoy weekly visits from Clinton Hill Library Branch Manager Tracey Mantrone, who curates a special list of books to complement our curriculum. Explorers participate in our dynamic curriculum through experiments, crafts, and fun hands-on activities. Please note that all Explorers must turn 4 by December 31st, must be fully potty trained, and will not nap during the camp day.

INVESTIGATORS

Rising Kindergarten

Investigators spend as much time outdoors as they do indoors, a balance we've found perfect for our program. They play soccer, garden, go on walking field trips, and enjoy weekly visits from Clinton Hill Library Branch Manager Tracey Mantrone, who curates a special list of books to complement our curriculum.

Trailblazers participate in our dynamic curriculum through experiments, crafts, and.fun hands-on activities. Trailblazers enjoy greater opportunity to work individually and in groups on projects related to our curriculum as counselors support their efforts.

 

ADVENTURERS

Rising 4th + 5th Grades

Our Adventurers are the most experienced campers, and these big kids are ready to explore neighborhoods beyond our own by going on field trips to the cultural and educational institutions that make our city so special. Adventurers play basketball and soccer two days a week, giving them plenty of fun opportunities to build confidence and skills. These campers also garden, go on walking field trips, and welcome weekly visits from Clinton Hill Library Branch Manager Tracey Mantrone, who curates a special list of books to complement our curriculum. Adventurers also enjoy weekly one-hour visits with a Technology Educator, who leads them in fun, hands-on investigations to create operational devices and gain fluency in modern technology. Like all our campers, Adventurers participate in our dynamic curriculum through experiments, crafts, and fun hands-on activities. 

PATHFINDERS

Rising 6th, 7th, and 8th Grades

Our Camp Fort Greene Middle School program is a place for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to learn about the world around them through hands-on activities, community, and summer fun. After a day of active indoor and outdoor explorations, our campers positively glow with excitement and the joy of making fresh discoveries. Pathfinder campers go in the field as scientists, use their own imaginations to design and make operable devices using tech, construct various materials to build sturdy structures, do arts and crafts, and play games that build math skills. In our commitment to giving each child a hands-in-the-soil, fun summer, Pathfinder campers also participate in gardening, basketball, soccer, free play, and field trips. At Camp Fort Greene, our campers go home sweaty, dirty, and radiantly happy.
