NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO Club
The world’s ONLY NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO Club with a LIVE virtual co-teacher every week!
Bring the wonder of NASA to your site without adding another program for your team to plan. NASA ASTRO CAMP TO GO runs as a nine-week club led LIVE by a Central Creativity virtual teacher, with your own facilitator in the room and all materials shipped to your door.
What makes it different
A LIVE experience every week, not a video.
Most STEM programs stop at the curriculum. NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO delivers a LIVE class every week. Our virtual co-teacher opens each mission, teaches the science and walks students through the activity, and subject matter experts join the club across the nine weeks. Your on-site facilitator supports students hands-on in the room.
Guest Speakers
Subject matter experts join during some of the club meetings to answer learner questions live.
A national crew
Your learners interact live with NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO clubs across the country during the same class hour.
Your room, our teacher
An educator or staff member at your site manages the room while our virtual teacher leads the content delivery.

Your facilitator, our co-teacher

Paying for it
Ways to fund your club.
Funding paths can be combined.
School funded
Your school, district or organization pays for participating learners. NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO qualifies for federal, state and local funding, including Title I, Title IV and 21st Century Community Learning Centers.
Family funded
Families register and pay Central Creativity directly. We provide an online registration system and families register through your site’s registration link. You receive real-time enrollment updates and your site never handles money.
Sponsor funded
A community or industry partner covers the cost for your learners.

The facilitator role
No science background needed.
The Club Facilitator is an educator or staff member at your site — a classroom teacher, after-school leader or paraprofessional. Central Creativity delivers the NASA ASTRO CAMP® TO GO Facilitator Training virtually, so no travel is required. Facilitators complete the activities themselves during training before leading learners.
Facilitators are paid a stipend by Central Creativity for the nine-week club session and receive a certificate of completion. Contact us for more info!
The program at a glance
Nine weeks, five missions.
- 9 weekly one-hour LIVE sessions.
- 5 NASA missions, with a career connection in every lesson: Arrive and Investigate, Establish a Base, Sustain and Grow, Explore the Unknown, Discover the Next Horizon.
- Up to 25 campers per crew, with one facilitator for every Club.
- Grades K–12, in three bands: Explorers (K–2), Innovators (3–5), Trailblazers (6–12).
Scheduling. Your cluster meets on its own day, at the same time, for all nine weeks. Your site picks the hour that works, 11:00, 3:15 or 5:15 Central, and new LIVE clubs start every nine weeks. Before and after care may be added by the site for an additional fee.
Or run it on your own schedule. Those dates apply to LIVE club participation only. Our professional development prepares your facilitator to lead the club entirely on their own, so there are no start dates and no deadlines. Order your kits and begin whenever you want.
Don’t Take Our Word for It
From somebody who has seen a lot of kits.
“I’m highly impressed with the kit’s organization and labeling, which surpasses others I’ve purchased at a higher cost. Your team has really nailed it.”
