Hello yall,

I attended Advanced Space Academy from June 15-19, 1998,
I was in Team Tereshkova, my counselor was Mary Beth (who was a PHENOMENAL counselor).
It was a great experience!

I'm happy I found this forum, and I hope I can talk to some former teammates and nonteamate. I would really like to hear your stories!

I was on the Shepard team on August 5-10, 2001. We had great counsellors and our team was really close. People who had come before said their other teams were not as close. At graduation our night counsellor was the only night counsellor came (day counsellors had to be there). Our whole team was in tears. We were so sad that we had to leave! Shepard 2001 was the best team you could ever get!!

I was on the VonBraun team July 1-6 1998. Our team was so awesome. We were all like best friends before the week was over. Alot of us still keep in touch. Graduation day the whole team was in tears and our night counselor also came to graduation and had to get up and go dry his eyes because he was crying too. At graduation the team bought him a red space academy t-shirt and everyone signed it and presented it to him. We got a red tshirt because the name he went by was Red. At graduation ofcourse one member of the team was presented with the right stuff award but after graduation he pulled us aside and gave us all one. It was also cool on the flight to Atlanta 4 of our team were on the same plane and we all sat together and talked unfortunately it was too short a trip and was over before we knew it. Thats one week i'll never forget.

Somehow (call me crazy), I think the team names are assigned to teams arbitrarily...

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Sat May 11, 2002 3:21 pm

I think their assigned arbitrarily too. As are the counselors. The counselors for a team seem to varry from week to week as well.

orion8 · Post by **orion8** » Sat May 11, 2002 5:45 pm

yes but vincent tells me you can request a counselor.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Sat May 11, 2002 5:49 pm

That would be great if any of my counselors were still arond. Unfortunately their all gone now. Too bad too because i had some verry good ones over the years.

orion8 · Post by **orion8** » Sat May 11, 2002 5:50 pm

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Sat May 11, 2002 5:54 pm
