One more thing, they really should make SC logo stickers. It'd be a cheap item to make and would sell strong, I'd think. Take a look at the red/blue "visitor center" patches on the flightsuits that are for sale in the gift shop. Seriously, who'd buy one of those? In all fairness, since the...

I have resources I can delve that someone walking off the street cannot. Unfortunately, the Academy patches haven't been available for sale for over 2 years, according to the gift shop manager. Such a shame. The stock in the shop is driven by what sells. I know there are a few folks here hot for so...

The wings the counselors have on their name tags have a shuttle orbiter in the middle if they are the same ones used by counselors in 07. The wings are out there because they are awarded for one of the school programs i believe its astrotrek. I have a pair i got ahold of while working at Ac in 07 s...

I've never seen a set of wings that said "SPACE CAMP II". I have a set of the "SPACE CAMP" wings with a red shield and a set of "SPACE ACADEMY" wings with the blue shield. By the time I reached Academy Level II (1994) I got the nice shiny gold wings. I'd say these wing...

I bought a jacket at camp years ago that looks like the one in the photo. The staff version - at least when I worked there in 2009 and 2010 - had Space Camp and Aviation Challenge patches on it. I'm sure they still have the jackets in the store as they have every time I've been there since 2001. Ye...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/hemiman876/94wings.jpg Are these the metal wings you are talking about? Wow, I've never seen those before. I'd have LOVED to have gotten one of those when I completed camp! The wings they give you now are the generic ones like you mentioned. The people who wor...

So, while you can't park out there you most certainly can walk out there. The devil, you say, you can't park there! :wink: I waited until the night before I went to camp when it was dark, and drove my rental van right up to that very parking space, using screen prints from my DVD of the movie. It's...

I just scored a small SC grouping off ePay that had a SC logo pin in it. There's a grouping on ePay right now that has another one, but from the Florida camp. So far, that's the only one I've ever seen anywhere. They don't have anything like that at Huntsville (even a gal at the checkout stared off ...

Or you could have someone at Camp look and ask at the gift shop. :D I'll try to swing by there this afternoon. Steve looked for me over the weekend (lucky guy, he only lives 2 hours away by car) and they said no such thing. I scored off ePay a grouping of camp stuff which included a Camp logo lapel...

Next step ebay its probably cheaper there in many cases anyway. Yeah, you're not going to find any of those patches there. I've bene looking for the better part of a year now and only have seen one advanced academy patch (which I missed after being outbid and away from my computer) and not one gene...

They don't appear to be there any more. However, I have had excellent service from them in the past over the phone. Give them a call, ask if they have the item you want, and they will ship it to you! It would be a real shame if they got rid of the ASA and AC patches. I doubt they would, as I know t...

And as to the 'duct tape' situation, it's a joke. The only ones who ever bring it are the adults. Trainees below Advanced Academy and Adult Academy do not have anomalies that would suggest restraining anyone. We don't need the 9-15 year old set thinking they will or can do that sort of thing. Even ...

Yep, maybe the board re-sized it?
Great shot by the way!

As for knives, I could have brought a chain saw into the Hab and I doubt anyone would have cared so long as they didn't see it. But again, I was at an adult camp. Here's a few things that I either did or wished that I had that are good advice: Wear shorts. It's freaking hot in Huntsville, well into ...

When you're an adult, a cell phone is part of you these days. I mostly used mine as an alarm clock as I wanted to be up early each morning. I also texted some shots from camp to my wife and parents. You so wanna take pictures, but not too many that you recorded camp instead of experienced it. I have...

If you're interested http://www.sewwhatever.com then click on the "Habitat Patch" button. We take PayPal. Man, I really like that! Expect an order this weekend (got to wait until the next paycheck as we're a little tight on funds after our cross-country roadtrip vacation... Such a good de...

More than anything, i wish you could get Space Camp wings embriodered on a nameplate (but more than anything, I wish you could get the wings they give the trainers as an embroidered version) or placed on shirts. I like your alumni idea very much, such a shame nothing's come of it yet. I almost didn'...

When I was at SC recently, they had some pretty cool Camp Alumni shirts. I really had too many SC shirts by then (if such a thing is possible) but I just couldn't resist getting one of these as well before leaving Huntsville. I got to thinking, it's be really cool to have a patch that denotes you've...

I think this belonged in a different heading to see if anyone else ever did this.
I put together a simple video here of the photos myself and others got recently as SC...

I missed out on a advanced space academy patch on ePay while I was out of town, and it's the only one I've ever seen. Did they make many of these and are there any ever made for the other programs? I'd love to have a normal space academy one...
