2026 Summer Camp Registration

The Aerospace Center for Excellence has been inspiring the next generation of aerospace professionals for more than 25 years. Launched in 1999, our summer camp programs have inspired and motivated young people from around the world. ACE provides a safe, fun, and engaging environment that promotes hands-on learning while fostering excitement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through aviation. Our summer camps are day camps that are packed with activities that engage students in all aspects of the aerospace industry.

Registration opens on November 1, 2025.

Drop Off & Pick Up

We have a new car rider route this year. Please refer to the map in this post. James C. Ray Drive will be closed. Cars will turn off Medulla onto Rocky Road and then navigate the one-way loop to the Pavilion.

Please have your car rider sign displayed and photo ID ready. Only those on your authorized pick up list will be allowed to check out students. You may edit this list directly in Ultracamp.

On Monday only, please arrive early and escort your child inside the Aviation Museum lobby to find the table labeled STEMtastic. Check in with staff, get your car sign, and finalize your account. Campers will receive their t-shirts and name badges in their classroom.
