MISSION UPDATES

Welcome to Oshkosh! 2014

Welcome to EAA Airventure 2014! We’re here! This year the Space Camp Alumni community joined forces with Space Camp, Aviation Challenge, Space Camp Robotics, and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center to support a week-long experience at the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration: EAA Airventure. Alumni have stopped in to visit us going all the way back to the first year of Space Camp to a few alumni from just last week! BtzGE3FCYAAFBjl Claire popped in this morning for a spin on the MAT and to show off her homemade hat from her time at Space Academy this year! We presented her with her official Space Camp Alumni patch to add to her design.   -2 Lastly, we had the father of an alumni from the very first year Space Camp was hosted, this Auburn alumn burst with pride entering the Space Camp/Aviation Challenge/Robotics Camp space here in Oshkosh. Here, Alumni Board President John Ramsey presents him with his son’s official Alumni patch. Chip Yarbrough and Art Nicotera, though unable to join us onsite in Wisconsin, celebrated with their alumni colleagues on @SpaceCampAlumniScreen Shot 2014-07-30 at 11.26.06 AM Screen Shot 2014-07-30 at 11.26.24 AM Alumni Board President, John Ramsey, was also interviewed about his experiences at Space Camp and we look forward to sharing that interview with you all later in the week. We’ve also been busy meeting up with our colleagues and alumni from Flying Magazine, NASA, ATK, and Boeing, and have no fear, we took pictures to share! We’re here all week running the MAT, flight sims, and…we are working toward taking some dronies with Ram Jet! Be sure to follow our adventures and fun out here in Oshkosh at #OSH14-1   What flight crew are you most interested in hearing from this week up in Oshkosh? Tweet us @SpaceCampAlumni.
