The European Space Camp is a week-long summer camp for young scientists (17-20 years old) at Andøya Rocket Range in Northern Norway. Organised by the Norwegian Association of Young Scientists and the Norwegian Centre for Space-related Education (NAROM), in cooperation with the Norwegian Space Centre and the European Space Agency (ESA).
Andøya Rocket Range is located in the Northern part of Norway, with unique facilities and laboratories to make the students experience a scientific atmosphere. The camp gathers young participants to learn about rockets and space.
The preferred background for the participants are: Youths 17-20 years old and students at a high school or secondary school with emphasis on mathematics and physics.
Some of Norway´s, and even Europe´s, best scientists give lectures, and the participants also work in groups with hands-on activities and calculations. The subjects dealt with on Space Camp varies from the Northern Lights to rockets, satellite communication in space as well as astronaut traning. In addition, the participants will experience the exciting feeling of a real campaign, accomplished by relating the group work directly to the final rocket launch.
The range is surrounded by breathtaking and powerful natural beauty that many visitors appreciate on their spare time or on organised outings. The Northern lights are perhaps the most well known and advertised phenomenon. This close connection with nature is perhaps an important motivator for science students. In summertime the midnight sun is a fantastic attraction.
