About the event
Starbase is a 5-day field trip for 5th grade students. It is NOT an overnight camp. Parents will bring their child to Clay National Guard Base everyday at 9am and pick them up at 1:30pm. The student should be 5th grade level for reading, math and science. No students under the age of 10 are permitted.
DoD STARBASE is a premier educational program, sponsored by the Office of theAssistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. At DoD STARBASE students participate in challenging “hands-on, minds-on” activities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). They interact with military personnel to explore careers and observe STEM applications in the “real world.” The program provides students with 25 hours of stimulating experiences at National Guard, Marine, Air Force Reserve, Army, and Air Force bases across the nation.
DoD STARBASE’s primary focus is the program for fifth graders. The goal is to motivate them to explore STEM opportunities as they continue their education.
