Wisconsin 4-H Space Camp is an educational experience where youth from across the state take a bus down to Huntsville, Alabama, for a 4 day journey. Youth get the opportunity to venture away from home to meet new friends, develop leadership and teamwork skills, and learn all about space. They are led by a team of trained Adult Advisors and Space Camp counselors. Counselors are former Space Camp participants who are outstanding leaders. Counselors lead a variety of activities on the buses and stops along the way that help keep youth engaged and help them meet new people. As a 4-H program, our goals for youth who go through Space Camp are:

• To have the opportunity to learn in an exciting environment away from school.
• To develop social skills by meeting new people and working as a team.
• To have the opportunity to learn life skills in a situation that is unfamiliar to them.
• To have the opportunity to develop leadership skills by participating in the Space Camp Counselor program.
