Space Shuttle Systems and life aboardthe Orbiter and Space Station. Try outspace food, learn to sleep in spaceand even how to go to the bathroomin space!

Astronaut training will continue on theMulti-Axis trainer that spins you allaround, just like the Mercury Astronauts.You will take a turn on the 5-Degrees ofFreedom Chair (it’s like a chair floating onair) training just like the Geminiastronauts. Next, you will trainlike Apollo astronauts did fortheir trip to the moon bytaking a walk in the1/6th Gravity Chair!And finally, campersstrap on our ownversion of a jet pack — anMMU, that’s NASA talk fora Manned Maneuvering Unit— and maneuver around on acushion of air. Campers willtake time off from a busy trainingschedule for water activities, but nottoo much, because it’s off to rocketconstruction to build and launch yourown one-stage model rocket.

COUNTDOWN BEGINS!As the Mission Control Crew

watches the countdown clockand their computer screen, theFlight Crew straps into theshuttle cockpit andprepares for blastoff.The countdowncontinues ...7, 6 mainengine ignition ...5, 4,3, 2, 1 booster ignitionand lift off! While thecommander and pilot enterdata and watch the gauges, theMission Control Crew keepseverything going smoothly.

Once in orbit, mission specialistschange into their spacesuits and go outinto space to begin their work outside theorbiter; while the payload specialists areconducting scientific experiments in theorbiter’s mid-deck.

As the mission wraps up, MissionControl Crew gives the go ahead for the

orbiter to head home. The Crew cheersand applauds as the Orbiter returnsto Earth.

Space Track campers will gothrough extensive Mars training

to prepare for interplanetarytravel. First, you will learn

about the planet, its soil,geology, climate andatmosphere. You willreceive crew

assignments, and then theyare ready to go!

Once the camper and crewarrive, they will settle into their newhome — Mars Outpost-Alpha Station —and they will begin to complete theirmission assignments as they explore thesurface of Mars. You and yourteammates will conduct experiments onthe soil and rocks collected, as well askeeping everything on board the Mars

Outpost running smoothly. Once themission is complete, it is time to

head home to Earth.

SPACE CAMP®/AVIATION CHALLENGE

Space Camp opened in Huntsville, Ala.in 1982; and the Aviation Challengeprogram began operation in June 1990.The Space & Rocket Center® (USSRC) isan entity of the State of Alabama. It isgoverned by the Alabama Space ScienceExhibit Commission.

The USSRC, U.S. Space Camp andAVIATION CHALLENGE are primarily selfsufficient with added support fromcorporate partners. The USSRC is theofficial NASA Visitor Center for theMarshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) andreceives no direct federal funding foroperational support. NASA/MSFC does,however, supply technical assistance andexpertise.

AGE/GRADEAPPROPRIATENESS

Since opening in 1982, we havegathered a wealth of experiencedeveloping and providing curriculumthat is age appropriate and grade specific.Reading levels, cognitive learning skills,and emotional maturity are just a few ofthe factors we have used over the yearsto develop programs that will not only befun, but educationally challenging foryoung people of all ages andbackgrounds. We make every effort toarrange teams so that each camper hasan age or grade in common. We knowfrom experience that a camper will enjoyour camp if he or she is not intimidatedby older students, or can’t keep up withthe intellectual or physical demands of ahigher level.

Please help us achieve the very bestexperience possible for your child byenrolling him or her in the camp thatcorresponds with his or her age and/orgrade requirements.

COUNSELOR TRAINING ANDQUALIFICATIONS

You are entrusting us with your child’ssecurity and well-being. Our rigidstandards for hiring qualified counselors,as well as training them, wereestablished to ensure each camper enjoysa safe, fun, and educationally soundexperience. A minimum of two years ofcollege, or equivalent experience, ismandatory.

While a significant percentage of ourstaff are education majors, others havedegrees or are pursuing degrees in

business, science, math, engineering orliberal arts. The common thread they allshare is a desire to work with children.Many staff members have actually gonethrough our camp programs as campers.

Every potential counselor must pass acomprehensive background check, pre-employment attitude test and drugscreening prior to employment. Onceemployed, and before they ever meet acamper, all program staff membersreceive extensive training in thefollowing areas: program facts andhistory, simulator safety and operation,proper discipline techniques, and age-specific behavioral characteristics.

Counselors are closely supervised andevaluated weekly at the end of eachcamp session by their campers. Weencourage parents to meet program staffmembers at registration and graduation.

SECURITY & SAFETYCamp supervisory staff and separate

uniformed security staff are on site 24hours-a-day, seven days-a-week whencamp is in session to ensure the camper’ssafety. Security of personal items is thecamper’s responsibility. Do not bringitems of high value to camp. Cell phones,DVD/CD players, etc. are not permitted.Most hallways and common areas aremonitored by security cameras.

The safety of all campers is of utmostimportance. Counselors highly trainedand certified in the proper use of allsimulators ensure that campers have asafe and enjoyable experience.

Each simulator is built to the higheststandards and equipment is safety-checked daily and maintained byprofessional technicians. Each enclosedsimulator is equipped with smokedetectors and emergency stop buttons. Itis mandatory that campers wear safetyhelmets when using most of theastronaut training equipment. (Note:spaceflight simulators may cause motionsickness.) A four- foot minimum height isrequired for simulators used in programcurriculum. Maximum weight forastronaut training simulators is 260pounds per person.

MEDICAL STAFFINGMedical staff is on site 24 hours daily

for all weeklong youth programs. Allmedications for weeklong and 3 daysummer campers (prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, herbal) are collected

during registration and dispensed asdirected by you or the prescribingphysician. They must be in their originalcontainers with labels and instructions inEnglish. Campers requiring injectionsmust provide medications; syringes; andlegible, signed instructions from yourphysician.
