Young Explorers Prepare for Space Adventure
The 2025 YF Life Jr. Space Camp Program has selected eight exceptional young explorers for an exciting nine-day space exploration journey in the United States. Chosen after a rigorous selection process, the participants include Jocelyn Charlotte Beeton, Chan Mick, Chen Tsz Lam, Choi Tsz Ching, Hui Pak Sum, Ng Tsz Shun, Annabel Su, and Gabrielle Lily West. They were evaluated by a panel of seven industry leaders, including media veteran Ms. Candy Chea and aerospace professionals.
This fully sponsored initiative by YF Life International Limited will take the young explorers to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The group, each accompanied by a parent, will depart Hong Kong on July 23 to start their adventure.
The scheduled timeline includes intensive training at the U.S. Space Camp, where participants will have the unique opportunity to engage in hands-on activities. On July 24, they will prepare for training that kicks off with simulated experiences. July 25 features riding the “1/6th Moon Gravity Trainer,” where they will feel what it’s like to walk on the moon, as well as control a full-scale space orbiter during a mock space shuttle mission.
The adventure continues on July 26 with further simulations, including practicing a space walk on the Multi-Axis Trainer, enjoying an IMAX 3D space movie, and constructing model rockets with their parents. A graduation ceremony on July 27 will celebrate their achievements as they complete the first leg of their journey before heading to Florida.
Once in Florida, on July 29, the young explorers will have the chance to explore the Kennedy Space Center, view launch pads, and meet an actual astronaut. A celebratory dinner hosted by YF Life will commemorate their mission upon completion of all challenges. The group will return to Hong Kong on August 1, marking the end of a memorable journey into the world of space exploration.
