Actually a shirt and some form of log book though i don't know what the books are like now. But you will also have an amazing experiance, make great friends and male memories that last a lifetime. and the cost does cover food and housing and help keep the program going. Believe me its worth the money.

It will be worth every penny!
You also get a team photo (maybe two), and a few other things too, no worries. Best of all is the experience itself, the people you meet, and the memories you will take home afterwards.
Quoting one of my favourite (long lost) TV shows, it's 'adrenaline from the ground up'!

When I did 8 day in 2004, we got 2 team pictures (one by the shuttle and one just before launch), t-shirt, wings and certificate. There is an option to buy a team patch for $10.

Which track did you pick? I've been all 3 (I was a Payload Specialist the last summer they had it) My favourite is Mission Specialist. I've done that track 3 times including 8 day. I love doing the EVA.

Come to think of it, I got loads of things to take home from the adult 8-day camp in 2004. I don't know if that is normal or not. We definitely didn't get this much stuff at the youth camps!
- ASA t-shirt
- Area 51 t-shirt, SpaceBowl t-shirt (my team won both)
- zip-up binder with the ASA logo on it (by the end of the week the binder was overflowing with information)
- ASA minibook (it's only about 20 pages)
- pen
- lanyard
- clip-on nametag (with your town, room, early arrival, etc.)
- duffel bag
- two 8" x 10" team photos
- pewter shuttle pin (for the rocketry competition)
- Right Stuff Award (only two of us got this)
- Wings
- two certificates (Graduation and Lighthouse Award)
- CD with a bunch of files from our Shuttle Orientation
- Some other CD, I think it's called Lift Off
There was a hurricane in Florida at the time of my camp, so the mission patches were not available that week (they are made there). After camp we had our own mission patches made and sent to everyone.
Then, we pooled all our photos onto one master DVD and sent those out to everyone too.
I think I was VERY spoilt at adult camp! Even if all I got were my nametag, my memories, and my photos, it would be worth it all the same!

sounds like fun!! I'm not sure about "paths".. I'd assume I would like to do whatever involves the least mathSpaceCanada wrote:Come to think of it, I got loads of things to take home from the adult 8-day camp in 2004.

Generally, anyone dealing with experiments will be a Mission Specialist. Pilots do more with avionics, flight simulators, and the like.
Both tracks (from what I'm told) equally have advantages and disadvantages. By now, you have already picked your track though (at registration). Either way, it will be a memorable experience.

On the space station, for the 24 hour mission, everyone does an experiment. On the shuttle there were no experiments because the MS have an EVA and the pilots are flying the shuttle. On the Station we had an experiment block and also a hydroponics block.

Things use to be mnore cut and dry when they had payload specialistst they were the main ones doing expirements. Ofcourse NASA doesnt use PS's anymore neither dose camp. Though i guess it is possible PS's could return to space if some company or other group needs to send someone up with a payload to the iss but i think its MS's from now on.
