To be an astronaut is the dream of thousands of young people around the world. It is this dream that leads a diverse group of young Americans to enroll in Space Camp for the summer, totally unsuspecting that their "space play" will turn into a real mission aboard a Space Shuttle. In the group of campers and staff accidentally launched into space is Andie (Kate Capshaw), a flight instructor with frustrated dreams of space adventure, Kathryn (Lea Thompson), a serious young lady who is determined to become an astronaut. Kevin (Tate Donovan), a brash but likable young man who has a lot to learn about teamwork, Rudy (Larry B. Scott), a frightened boy who needs self confidence, Tish (Kelly Preston), a lady with a passion for fashion who seems to have her head in the clouds, Zach (Tom Skerritt), a former astronaut and Max (Leaf Phoenix), whose dreams of adventure will soon be realized beyond his wildest expectations. Together, these very different people, united by a common fascination for space flight, will learn that they must first master inner space before taking on the challenge of the world beyond the sky.
