Aerospace Camp Experience (ACE) is a day camp for the budding aviator, future astronaut, or any camper excited to explore the world around them!
At ACE, campers spend the day in a safe, fun and engaging environment. Campers will dive into aviation, aerospace and all things science! They will experiment, complete hands-on activities, hear from special guests like pilots, engineers and astronauts, and explore all that The Museum of Flight has to offer. Our counselors are excited to help campers to find new passions, explore their interests and build confidence. Come learn and soar with ACE!
We are actively committed to reducing the barriers for access to aerospace and ACE. To learn more about the Museum’s Mission, Vision, Values and our commitment to inclusion, visit our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion page.
If your child has an inquiring mind and wants to have fun this summer exploring the world of STEM, aviation and aerospace, then join us at ACE!

Full Camperships are distributed based on need. Several factors are considered when determining need, including qualification for several federal or state programs, if a camper is in kinship or foster care, income level, and any additional circumstances that may lead to a financial barrier to attending ACE.
You may apply for Full Camperships for multiple campers in the same household. Applications for siblings will be considered together, though each camper must have an individual application submitted. ACE will work to approve applications for all campers in a household when possible.
