Yeah, normally they advertise discounts on the home page.

Well then maybe the price is changed for good. I know for a fact that I going at least three times between now and next September.

It would be good if the price change was permanent. Space camp has gotten way too expensive.

Well with the recent economy, no one will be able to go to camp anyway and then the attendance goes down.

Well lets hope it does stay that way. For a chance the price isnt going up while parts of the program keep going down like the books.

Yes, the price used to go up while they would get rid of things or take away things.

Thats exactly what happened. I mean look when academy level 2 became ASA it went from 8 days to 5 but the price increased.

Academy Level II was 8 days!?!?!? I wish I was old.

Go far enough back iyt was 10 days as late as 1988.

I miss 10 days of camp. That would mess up my schedule for school vacations though.

I wou;d have loved to attend the 8 or 10 day academy Level 2 programs. I almost did get to attend an 8 day one in 96 but couldnt afford it and went to AC instead then by the time i went in 98 it was a regular 5 day program like it is now.

Long camp would be cool.

I wish it could last several weeks like some summer camps do. Sure it would cost more but it wpould be so great. You could have mnore missions, you couyld have more training time for the missions. And they could put in more activities i'm sure.

Extended Duration Space Camp. I soooo want to do that. Yeah it would cost more, but hey I am there all the time anyway.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 4:47 pm

Well it would definately be worth the cost. But i guess we can keep dreaming.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 9:33 pm

Well they eventually want to make a hab module thingy ont he tcf to bring back the 24 hour EDM, so it could be worse. At least that is a realistic thing to dream about.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 9:37 pm

True that will definately be great. But then so will the whole renovation.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 9:40 pm

I am personally looking forward to the fiber optic lighting system thing.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 9:43 pm

True that does sound cool. And will add more realism to you MS's s EVA's.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 9:45 pm

Yep..us MS's are the bomb. Well it isn't our fault the Westar Satellite breaks about 3 times a day. The realism will be nice, however.
