I had the best counsellors ever! I had Ben both years, Tillie my first year and Michelle the 2nd. Michelle is awesome! Smiley is cool too! He did our lego rovers the first year.

Do you know Jason's last name? If it's Jason Mguffin i know him. He was on my ASA team in 98 we were both pilots the 2 Jasons on the team. He later went on to be a counselor.

Yeah i know a few of those! I have some how managed to meet alot of counselors in my time at camp. I think it comes from going when there are only 4 people there lol.

I would definitely have to agree with everyone. The counselors help make the whole experience of space camp. I had Becky Baxter and Ben (I can't remember his last name). They were a blast. I also went to Astrotrek in 2000, but I don't remember a whole lot about it.

Well unfortunately even the best have to move on eventually. Although some do sooner than others. My counselor in 91 was their for another 8 years before he left.

My counselors were:
Drew
JJ
Brandon
Arminda
Brent
Kristie (aka Krispy)
And I knew Carlos, Angeline, and Nathalie pretty well. Carlos y yo hablamos espanol juntos en el Hab. :D
I remember Melissa with rockets (night fireworks!! :) shweetness!)
And no one can forget Joel, although he wasn't exactly a counselor, but he gives pretty funny speeches at Orientation... maybe he should go into comedy :wink:

Joel is always hilarious. I don't remember all of my counselors, though I remember Brent (how many little kids did he terrorize during your stay?). I also remember the nurse who had to rebandage my finger every night a few years ago (It had been almost completely severed before camp and it looked like a charred hot dog).

Smiley by far is the coolest counselor ever. I still keep in touch with him and we talk all the time. He and brent and kristen and carlos are the coolest. Carlos just got married last thursday and he is going to have a son or a daughter sometime soon. Carlos taught me how to cuss in spanish and Brent and I talk like everyday. I never had him as a counselor, but he trained me in mocr and just offered me his screename one day. He's really cool. I hope i can have him as a counselor this summer. He, however, has accepted a part-time job at AC...but he switches back and forth between AC and ASA...

Carlos is one cool dude...I always wanted to have him as a counselor, but always ended up getting him for training. He and Brent together made for a really interesting pair...He doesn't work at camp anymore. He is there on occassion, but he works at Best Buy now with Stephen Davis i do believe.

Its okay, most of them are leaving or in the process of leaving sometime soon. Its kinda sad. Ive met some of the newbies and I knew more than them and that was scary. There were 100 new counselors hired and had just finished training when I was there in March. Its like a whole new generation of counselors.
