European
Space Camp
European Space Camp is an annual week-long summer camp held at Andøya Space in Northern Norway. The next camp is held in the summer of 2025. ESC gives the opportunity to 24 young adults to spend six days running different aspects of a real rocket campaign including the launch itself. Scattered throughout the week are a number of lectures from some of Europe’s top scientists and engineers on topics varying from rocket physics to the northern lights.
The week is not purely group work and lectures, plenty social activities are organised too. There is a hike up the mountain to the ALOMAR research station, swimming under the midnight sun followed by a trip to the sauna, as well as volleyball and a GPS challenge, all in the stunning surroundings of Andøya Space. If you are interested, head over to the apply tab to find out how to be a part of ESC.
All ESC participants stay at the Space Center’s hotel in a double room, shared with another participant. All rooms come equipped with an en suite bathroom and sheets and towels are provided, as well as WiFi. The Space Center’s cafeteria caters for all of the meals at camp, and all moderate dietary restrictions are catered for.
The Space Center also comprises an auditorium, smaller meeting rooms and working rooms equipped with computers. In addition, there is a sauna and a games room complete with a pool table and table tennis table.
