We all had teams that we will never forget, but im sure all of us have met one or more people in particular that we still talk to that have meant / do mean just so much to us still... I know one for me would be Jenn who I met that week and we're now together (for at least a long while... :) )

Well i still talk to several members of my ASA team and we stay in touch as much as possible since we're all in college now and all busy. I'd love to still be in touch with my AC team but those addresses and numbers were lost at some point but i still have one but again the person is in college and so communications are a little lax right now.

Actually, our counselor Brent was supposed to send us the contact info for our group members, but I never got it...

Before that, I never really talked to anyone I met at camp.

Actually, my entire 2002 ASA team (von Braun) keeps in great contact with one another. We are like all still great friends, and I know of at least 5 of us who have seen others on the team since camp!

i still keep really good contact with one girl from my team last time, but we were friends before we went to camp and went together, and i keep pretty good contact with a guy that i met last time. other than that ive lost contact with my team, which is sort of sad. i think most of them changed their screen names or email addresses, cuz i never see most online. actually, i think 6 of the people from my sa team are going back the same week i am for asa. so im really looking forward to that. hopefully ill keep better contact with them after this time.

Unfortunately i lost contacet with some of my ASA team for the same reason. People changed email addresses and screen names. Unfortunately when i went to AC in 96 the internet wasnt as common among the campers as it is now so it didnt help keep in contact much. And when i went in 93 and 91most if not everyone had never heard of the internet.

I have to admitt I am really bad about keeping in touch, but all my groups have really bonded. This forum really helps me stay on the communication map. At least now I can find out most people's status.

BTW, if anyone thinks I have forgotten them, email me. Its just that I am absent minded.
I have been to space camp four times and i hope to go to adult camp when i am over 21.

Well unfortunately i've only been able to get one member of my ASA team to join. I wish we'd had this back when we first got back then i probably could have gotten them all to join.

Which Brent? Wong? 'Cause I had him last year. He is great. I can't make him send you any info but I can try 8)
...speaking of which, I've already lost my group's sheet... I need to ask someone for it, fortunately I still talk to a good number of them, I just wish I had those darned snail mail addresses!

Yeah, Wong (aka Yellow Fever :lol: ). That would be great if you could get him to send it. You can give him my e-mail address, [email protected].[/url]

Unfortunately since all my SpaceCamp experiences are 10+ years old now I've lost contact with just about everyone from there. I was in contact with 2 people from Camp. In fact, for at least 2 years after. And 3 people from Academy via mail, but that didn't last. I've not heard from any of them in... oh say... 8 years.

But I hope to be making new friends soon! :)

Well the way that my ASA teams have managed to keep in contact is to make websites. Our Space Camp the Musical website for the last Christmas Camp team I was on really helped our team keep in touch as it has contact info for just about everyone on the team. I didn't feel quite as much of an attachment to my last team, so I don't talk to any of them.

I cant imagine losing touch completely with my ASA team we had such an awesome team and we were so close we became best friends in only a weeks time. It's like we'd known eachother for years and it was so hard to leave them

Our team wrote down our contact info on a sheet of paper that Brent was going to copy. It didn't get copied in time, so he said he'd send it to us. He lost it. He is not the shiznit.
