Michelle, You can call Camp directly with these questions. Someone who's going at the same time I am did just that yesterday and we had a talk over the phone last night for him to give me the info he was given. He was told they don't give a schedule as some things are dependent on the weather. I got...

I’m signed up for the adult camp in 4 weeks (first time ever) and I, too, was unprepared for an overall lack of… hardly any kind of info at all. You fill out the forms, they take the money, and you just then show up with no real idea what you’re going to do there. I was hoping for a schedule of even...

I was surprised how little guidance you get when you sign up for the Adult camp about much of anything. I can only assume (and hope) that the kids get a little more info when they go. I will be bringing: The normal stuff a grown up needs to bring for a weekend trip of any kind to a very warm climate...

They sell a blue jacket very similar to that in the gift shop, but I didn't take a close enough look at it to remember the exact details. It's very likely it's the same jacket though. Interesting, because the only jacket of this type I've seen on the website is this: http://www.spacecamp.com/store/...

I'm scheduled for the 3-day adult camp in less than a month. If things go like I hope, I have a feeling I'll be pushing to return the following year. If they have a week-long camp by then, I might just push the wife to go (I can always co,bine it with several days with my parents in Florida). My onl...

I can't imagine how much duct tape residue there must be all over the place, then. As for taping people to chairs, I'd be hesitant to do that, because the last time I saw someone do that, it got really ugly (but then again, the tapee was an Army ranger and we were in the field so we were all in a ve...

I've never been to Huntsville (going to the adult camp myself next month), but I'm from Florida originally (my folks were from Tennessee and we went there all the time) and live between Seattle and Portland now (and have been to Alaksa twice), so I understand where you are and where you're going.

Beats me why tape is mentioned so often. In the Army, we used it all the time, mostly to secure straps on our web gear, weapons slings, stuff like that. It also makes a good bandage, but only if you have nothing else... I'd like to know how practical it really is at Camp, as I have 3-4 rolls of what...

Timeframes for the adult camp? Before/after?

I am going to the adult camp next month and I got to wondering about what I can do or have time for before or afterward. They're very vague so far on timeframes for things, does anyone know if it's best to show up for the Center tour before I check in to camp or after I'm done? For that matter, so I...

One more I just thought of: Hideo Takamini's lawsuit against Space Camp and Kevin's family went nowhere, but he never forgave Kevin for taking his namebadge and getting onto the crew. He also never forgave space camp for looking the other way and allowing it. His book, "Courage denied" was...

Maybe this sizing chart will be of some help That'd only help if it was made by the same people who makes the flight suits in question, which I don't think is the case (this is the Gibson & Barnes chart, right?)... Much like how women often complain that the marked size often means nothing, the...

Probably best to call the gift shop and ask about sizes, I bet people come in there and ask all the time. Check eBay, there's a vendor on there right now who is selling what he says are brand new SC flight suits (we called them "bags" in the Army) for way less than the camp store does. I w...
