PARI STEM and Space Exploration Summer Camps
Private
Residential STEM and space-science summer camp run by the nonprofit Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in the Pisgah National Forest near Rosman. Overnight campers ages 11-17 use research-grade optical and NASA-built radio telescopes and real astronomical data across tracks in astronomy, physics, mission planning, and Milky Way mapping. Outdoor adventure adds hiking, fishing, tubing, and waterfall swimming.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact PARI STEM and Space Exploration Summer Camps directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.

★★★★★Perlstein Pineappleermmmm.... is this peak???
★★★★★Nickquase all day
★★★★★Peter GanongThis place is a hidden gem of Asheville. In addition to actual gems, they have a moon rock you can touch, a tire from the space shuttle, and a shark tooth. Our guide had an infectious enthusiasm for all things space and geology. They rarely have tours so check the website carefully.
★★★★★Sarah LeonardFabulous staff, facilities and learning. My child wants to go back as soon as possible.
