Things missing from X-mas 8day.

As many of you know, manythings were left out of the schedule from 8-day Christmas camp. Let's try and compile a list of them, so that we might try and make sure that they get into 12 day.

Here are a few starters

• Photo Scavenger Hunt
• Mission Orders (in envelopes)
• Operations Checkout Building

Ok...you beat me to it meg. I was going to say Tony and Nathalie.

But also! WHITE BOOTIES
*that meeting we had with a representative from NASA at the beginning with the clipboards and stuff.

Hey,
The Xmas 8-day was a bit disappointing to all those who have previously attended, but compared to the six day program I'd still rather have the 8-day. The main thing lacking was the sense of management and complete control that Tony and Nathalie had over the program. If management would simple appoint a central person to head the program or the development of 12-day, I am sure that the program would be that much better. As for specifics, the picnic at botanical gardens was missing, the barbeque at AC (though that may have been a summer activity), the sense that it was not camp but actually training. BTW, I miss you all Atlantis team members.

*doesn't mention anything about how the space camp 12-day program planning is waaaay behind where it should be. like almost non-existant.*

good point - nonexistant

Perhaps letters of "we can help" are in order to some 3-piece suits.

I dont know if our input would make a difference but we could try!

i am writing mine this weekend we should combine them or do you think we should send them in separately?
which ever has the best effect

Seperately. More effective, more paper, more annoying, more likely to make them come to their senses.

Got it annoying is always effective

I am still writing mine out, but it is going to people up the elevator.

Sara could you post an email or an address of one of those "upper-management" people so that I can send my letter(s)

Post by **Vincent** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 8:25 pm

Basically, the way email at space camp seems to work is that it's the person's first name and the first letter of their last name.

I have yet to see an exception.

FYI - We never had the Photo Scavenger Hunt or the AC Barbeque during the adult 8-day programme either, but I don't think they could have really added to our programme much. We never took a post-EDM photo either, now that I think of it... mostly because we only had a few minutes to get everything ready for our debriefing and Graduation.

For the most recent 8-day programme, did you get Phil's highly intricate Space Suits presentation? Did you get to play radio hide-and-seek in Rocket Park? Did you get to do a 'fox hunt' to recover a black box? If so, where did they hide it?

Any-who... just curious about whether or not they made any changes to the programme...

PS - We had a pretty good sense of 'reality' during or programme and what we did. It helps to have real engineers and doctors and scientists on your team so the counsellors can throw advanced anomolies at us. Actually, it was a 'war' of sorts with the counsellors trying to find anomolies we could not solve - they tried everything but we conquered them all! (Minus the pee on Station, but that was a due to a computer glitch beyond our control.) We even had our own comeback for the counsellors if they were too mean to us... we can make little pieces of paper and tape them to things too...

(We never had to discolse our hidden timebomb, but it was there if we ever wanted revenge...)
