Living in an outpost on the Moon is dangerous. Survival on the Moon will require teamwork! Campers will work together to solve a series of challenges grounded in real science about living and doing research on the Moon.
Campers will assume the role of astronauts living and doing research in an outpost on the Moon. As campers conduct research, a moonquake causes significant damage to the life support systems on the outpost. Survival on the Moon requires teamwork. Can campers work together to quickly restore the necessary systems to survive?
