Sleepaway Camps
Launch your imagination and your future at Griffiss Institute’s Lakeside Rocketry & STEM Adventure Camp! This six-day sleepaway experience for students in 6th – 8th grade combines the thrill of aerospace engineering with the fun of a traditional sleepaway camp.
Over six days, students will design and build rocket payloads using computer-aided design (CAD) tools, explore additive manufacturing, and 3D-print prototypes. The experience culminates in a live rocket launch, showcasing student innovation and sparking excitement for careers in aerospace and advanced manufacturing.
The week also features exclusive tours at Griffiss Business Park, a site with a rich aerospace legacy and home to leading research and innovation, where students meet industry experts and see technology in action.
Between STEM sessions, enjoy classic camp adventures: swimming, kayaking, nature hikes, and evening campfires by the lake. It’s the perfect blend of innovation, recreation, and inspiration - where tomorrow’s engineers start their journey today!
