Going to an International Camp

Post by Vincent »

So many people from other countries attend Space Camp every year, as well as attend their own "local" Space Camps, I was wondering if anyone has or has heard of someone going to a foreign camp outside of the states...

I always thought it would be neat to go to Euro Space Camp or Space Camp Canada.

For various reasons, I never really ever considered it, but I think it would still be (well, would have been, at this point) a great experience.

I always wanted to go to an international space camp in another country. I was at camp several times when there were international groups there and always wondered what iw ould be like to be their coming from another country. Personally if i was going to go to an international camp though i'd want to go to one of the camps overseas. I know Canada is technicly international but it would still be alot like being in the US since the 2 countries are similar in many ways. Now going to space camp in Turkey or Japan now that would be an experiance.

I probably would have gone to the Canada but by the time I found out about Space Camp I was to old. The Canada is only to age 15. I'm glad I went to Alabama though. The Canada camp is probably close to the price of Alabama camp and the plane ticket would have been just as expensive because I would have to fly across the country. Alabama was probably a lot more fun and way better!
