June 14-16, 2016 Rocket Camp for ages 8 and up. Sponsored by the North Wasco County Parks and recreation and support provided by the NAR Gorge Rocket Club (GRC) #790 group. Want to design, build and fly your very own model rocket? You can- in this introduction to the exciting world of rocketry! You will see and learn how mathematics explains the world of rockets and aero science through simple lessons in Newtonian physics and rocket flight. Learn the laws of rocket stability, fluid dynamics, aerodynamics. You will study stable rocket flight designs and ultimately design your own flight vehicle. Best of all, you will actually build and launch your own vehicle at the end of the course to show your family and friends what you learned. Don’t miss this one- it is your first step to the stars! Model rocketry is safe and a widespread hobby and has been credited as a significant source of inspiration for children who eventually become scientists and engineers. All supplies needed to build and fly rockets are included in the cost of the course. Special Note: Interested guests are welcome to view the launch on the final day of the camp.
