Space Camp
Space Camp is located in Huntsville, Alabama. Each year, students who choose to do so, visit Space Camp to learn about various aspects of the United States' space program. Students are provided with an opportunity to see actual rockets, space shuttles, and other objects that have been used throughout the U.S. space history. Also, students are given the opportunity to try simulators similar to those used by real astronauts training for missions in space. Space Camp is a blast!
