Do they give you a box to take your rocket home? I'm afraid mine could get get smased on the plane.

They never did in the past you might want to ask. Heck if a counselor cant get you one you cvould try the gift shop they might have something you could use. Just one thing if the gift shop still sells rocket engines like they use to don't buy extras there for your rocket. \wait till you get home because you will not beable to take them on a plane.

yeah they dont give u boxes.
its a good idea to ask for a box at the gift shop...i shoulda done that...
every year me and my freiends go into the plane with these long rockets and get weird looks from all the passengers...and they end up getting bent, ripped, and twisted while we try to hide them out of view

then again they arent the best heirlooms from camp to keep. mine are most likely somewhere in the mass of destruction under my bed and won't be found for a few years

Only thing i ever managed to bring home was a nose cone with payload bayu and parachute. That was 91 its all i managed to find of mine since it completely seperated from the body. Hey but the cricket survived. (They no longer give you a cricket though) the second year and the only other year i got to launch rockets mine ended up on the other side of the road and wasnt allowed to recover it.

LOL. When I was moving out of the dorms this past spring half the boxes I used to pack I'd gotten from the gift shop.

LOL i have never gotten any boxes from the gift shop unless it was one something i bought came in. But the suggestion seemed to make sense.
