COMO Hotels and Resorts has launched its upcoming Space Summer Camp series for children and teenagers, led by NASA and Citizen astronauts, in July and August 2023.
The programme invites young explorers to become Island Astronauts in a series of Space Camps at the brand’s island resorts in Thailand, Bali and the Maldives.
Kids aged eight and up will learn about Space through art, food and movement with veteran NASA astronaut Nicole Stott and Citizen astronaut Sara Sabry. Salbry was selected as the world’s second Citizen astronaut in a program by ‘Space for Humanity’ where all civilians can apply to become trained astronauts.
Participation in the Space Summer Camp will be offered on a complimentary basis during the astronauts’ residency.
The Camps will provide aspiring young astronauts with the opportunity to discover a host of activities that promise adventure whilst educating them about the universe at the same time. Guests can jump in at any point while the camp is running to enjoy a fun-filled itinerary of space-themed island experiences.
At COMO Point Yamu in Phuket, Thailand, Nicole Stott will join the founder of Space for a better world, Christina Korp, in exploring the visible human impact from Space and cupcake decorating classes. Stott will also share her astronomical experiences at COMO Uma Canggu in Bali, Indonesia, and introduce her ‘Postcards to Space’ project.
COMO Maalifushi in The Maldives promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience led by Sabry, the first Arab woman in Space.
