Comments Off on Cheap Admission to P/C at Space Camp Canada?

I don’t usually mention Space Camp related auctions on eBay on the front page, but, then again, I’ve never seen someone auctioning off a voucher to attend Parent/Child Space Camp in August in Laval, Quebec!

If you’ve had any desire to go to Space Camp Canada, this is probably as good of a chance as any, and I truly believe that the reserve is low (as the seller claimed).

Interested or not, it’s fun to look at.

Update: At $100.00 Canadian (about $70US), the reserve for this auction has been met! That’s one cheap trip for two to Space Camp!

Update: The auction closed for $113.51 Canadian or approx. $83US! That’s a very cheap trip to camp!

It was posted in the HabForum and I thought it was worth noting here that Joel Walsh (see here if you don’t know who I’m talking about) has left Space Camp!

Joel was truly an institution at camp! Virtually every time I went there, there was Joel. Yes, while Space Camp is an ever-changing machine, Joel was one of its constants.

Until now.

Best of luck to him in all of his future endeavors though!

A New California Camp my yet Arise

Comments Off on A New California Camp my yet Arise

The Huntsville Times is reporting about a group of investors ready to give a California Space Camp another go.

Read all about it!

The new camp would be in The Dome on the grounds of the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach. Campers’ dormitories would be aboard the historic ocean liner, which for decades has been an anchored hotel and tourist site.

The Dome – a giant geodesic building – was formerly home to the “Spruce Goose,” Howard Hughes’ wooden seaplane. The plane was moved to a museum in Oregon in 1992.

McNerney said an opening date, like many details about the new camp at this point, is subject to negotiation.

“We’re going to try to open up July 6,” he said.

Hmm…I wonder if they’re looking for a new employee!

Sorry about the Slow-Down

So my web hosting provider was having some major issues yesterday and part of today. If you tried to visit the site or post in the HabForum, chances are you had a heck of a time!

Things should pretty much be back to normal now. At the very least, things are actually loading.

Sorry about that! It shouldn’t happen again, but if it does, I’ll fix it next time (i.e. change providers)!

Thanks for your understanding!
