When did all of the programs offered at Space Camp and AC start and when did they start at Florida and California as well?

Well if those dates are correct then it must have been late 88 and late 96 because neither are mentioned in the brochures for those years/ I do know that Aviation challenge Basoic now known as mach 1 started in 96.

The AC program started in 1990. Space camp in 82, I think Academy was 84 and Level two Academy in 87 or 88.

Space Camp California opened on September 18, 1996, if you want to get specific about it!

I do need to correct something i said above about AC. AC mac 1 did start in 96 but the name should have said Aviation Challenge Beginner not Basic. Basic was the original name for Mach 2 and Intermediat was the original name for Mach 3.

Well i'm pretty sure that florida had adult programs but they were only weekend programs so the ASA for adults in florida i dont believe is correct.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:46 pm

Well the ASA for Adults program in AL used to or is still only a weekend long. Wait isn't that called Space Academy for Adults? Do they still do that?

zachgroff · Post by **zachgroff** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:46 pm

so you don't think florida had Advanced for adults or Advanced for educators? what about the sally ride parent daughter... when did that start... did florida ever have that? or just the parent child one...

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:48 pm

Well I thought Sally Ride was a new thing and just in Alabama, but I could be wrong.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:49 pm

Adult ASA is a week long program Adult space academy is weekend. I'm pretty sure florida never had a week long program for adults but as for the parent child and sally Ride camp i'm not sure.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:50 pm

Well Sally Ride Space Camp just started to show up on the Alabama site not too long ago, so I think it was exclusive to Alabama.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:55 pm

I think your right about that. It might have shown up just before space camp florida went under but if it did it wasnt by much.

spacecampaddict28 · Post by **spacecampaddict28** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 3:12 pm

Well I am not sure exactly when it was added, but it wasn't too long ago. Being the addict that I am, I often find myself at the Space Camp website.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 3:15 pm

I still think it was added last year sometime i'm just not sure when exactly last year.
