Saturday Jan. 21- Space Camp


The girls will "construct and fly a shuttle glider, design a spacecraft for a specific mission, discover what the astronauts eat, and design a protective spacesuit for a shuttle astronaut."

Scouts and Chaperones will enjoy the above activities, plus dinner, a light morning breakfast, Giant Screen films, private tram tour, and a next day visit to tour Space Center Houston on our own. Additional family members cannot stay the night, but can join us in the morning for our self-guided tour. You can purchase $10 discounted tickets for the family members that will be joining us on Day 2. Tickets are not available the next morning- all tickets must be pre-ordered. Family members (Tagalongs) should meet us at the front doors at 8:45 am.


For this overnighter, the chaperones must be female. Chaperones must be registered Adult Girl Scouts and have a current background check on file with Council. Tagalongs for the Day 2 excursion can be anyone- but they will need to make their own over night arrangements.

For this trip, all costs will be out-of-pocket. (Once our troop is more established, our fund-raising efforts will cover most of our expenses.) All payments will go in the troop account, the troop will then pay for the event. Orderforms will be sent home. All payments must be turned in to me the first week of December. Cancellations must be received by Johnson Space Center a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the Camp-in. I will not be responsible for reimbursements. Scout tickets are $60 and include one patch. Chaperone tickets are $55, no patch. Day 2 Only passes are $10. T-shirts (youth and adult) are available for $15, additional patches are $5. The patch is pictured above, the shirt below. Shirt and patch designs subject to change.


More details will come as we get closer to the event.

I planned this trip with Troop 1563, who we will be meeting and doing activities with at the event. This most recent spring we ran a fundraiser for one of my Scouts whose cousin has leukemia. Her cousin lives in Houston and it is also our intention to deliver our Lemonade Day proceeds to her while we are in town.
RSVP List (Overnight and/or Day2) :
Amri + Mandy, Bailey R.
