Read: the last couple of alumni camps have had disappointing turnout and we didn't plan far enough ahead to do anything about it this year.

I'm disappointed, to be sure, but what else were they going to do?

Neat story with an awesome picture of the Saturn V replica: AFSPC Reaches out to Space Camp Youth

This place looks pretty cool: National Flight Academy gets its 'keel'

That is an awesome looking cake!

My wife brought a rocket ship cookie cake into my office for my birthday, I love cookie cake! I had to scrape the icing off, though, it was super rich.

The guy who builds AC's sims is opening up a dogfighting arcade: Beach business banking on military, flight simulators, pizza

Forget those wimpy air-powered rockets, we need to make these at camp: Water powered rockets with drop-away boosters

A neat story about a Russian 'space camp'… perhaps the start of a "Space Camp Race"?
Space camp gives schoolkids a taste of the cosmos

Thanks, Mercergl, I fixed it. The counselors explained their love of that particular meal to me, but it was pretty funny for an outsider.

There are several space memorabilia auctions happening right now. If you have the cash, you can own such items as check written by Neil Armstrong and Gordon Cooper's slide rule.

I found out about Hab1 because counselor Brent told me that an embarrassing story about him was posted here. It took me a while to find it because I didn't have the correct URL, but I'm glad I kept trying. I have four ideas for promoting this site: 1. A note in the graduation materials telling campe...

Another link to the same story: Radio DJ heads to Australia to pay NASA litter fine It's hard enough getting people to donate to a good cause, who would want to donate to a government fine? Maybe we could take up a collection for my taxes? Here's another cool story about experiencing the crash at th...

I'm currently on my usual post-Camp withdrawal, during which I seek out and soak up as much Camp-related material as possible. Here are some of the recent stories I've found: As a family vacation, NASA's Space Camp is out there [LA Times] Space Camp, what better way to celebrate a birthday [Hudson S...

Thousands of people have become fans of Space Camp on Facebook, yet the Hab1 Forum has less than 500 registered members. I think there's clearly demand for Hab1.com, but people have trouble finding it; you wouldn't know it's here unless someone tells you about it, even if you're looking for it (it's...

I just thought I'd sketch out the hapenings (hopefully it wasn't too litaneous) and let others fill in the colorful details.

BTW, I enjoyed your post about the changes at the USSRC from a visitor's point of view.

I'm bumping this old thread because I'd totally forgotten about the webcam. It's now in the parking lot of the Davidson Center, looking towards the entrance. You can see Space Shot! http://207.111.165.30/view/index.shtml

This thread is for folks to post about their experiences this weekend at the alumni camp, Apollo Reunion, and HoF induction events. Alumni Camp Roster: Jeramy (Team Leader) Sue (P/C alum) Jim (Sue's 'buddy') Charles (alum) Vincent (alum, former counselor, and Hall of Famer) Ben (alum) Laura (counsel...

Being careful about what you post is good advice for any job, but doubly so for boards related to your industry, doubly so for boards related to your employer, and doubly so if you work with kids. So be 8x as careful, counselors!

Yeah, Story reminds me a bit of Gary Busey; he's cool, but not someone I'd want to hang out with for too long. Hoot, on the other hand...

When I visited in February 2008 the kids shop was still there. One guy on my team back in June 2007 bought a onesie (however you spell it!) for his soon-to-be daughter. Even if it wasn't, there would definitely be clothing for kids in the main gift shop. The baby shop is, sadly, no longer there and...

I just got back and we did have a great time! The team was made up of six counselors, one former counselor, two alumni, and one 'buddy'. I'm sure we'll all share some of our adventures over the next few days. Right now, though, I'm exhausted.
