It has been some time since I have updated the HabFiles section of this website. I haven’t stopped collecting artifacts from Space Camp’s past, but I’ve been woefully inept at sharing them! That is a trend I hope to reverse starting today! I recently got hold of a 1983 Space… Continue reading
The year was 1988 when the very second Space Camp, Space Camp Florida, opened its doors. This video was produced that year to highlight a week at Space Camp Florida, showing many of the activities Space Camp Florida kids would undergo over the course of the week! Oddly, the occasional viewing… Continue reading
Watching “A Smile as Big as the Moon,” you no doubt saw that the 1988 Space Camp brochure acted as the initial catalyst to start Coach Kersjes and his kids on their marvelous adventure. But this isn’t what the 1988 brochure looked like: The brochure was, in fact, a full… Continue reading
Thanks to Matthew Danner, the HabFiles section has received an update! A book was produced and given out to international Space Camp licensees. It’s a very nice artifact. It has some rarely seen photos of now defunct Space Camps as well as listings of some that were not meant to… Continue reading
I know it’s been a little while since the HabFiles section has seen an update, but it’s my hope that this one will make it seem like the wait was worth it. Present now in the HabFiles section is a article from Space World magazine that was published in February… Continue reading

Well, Tom Skirritt, to be more precise. But, hey, he was in the movie SpaceCamp, which we’ve all come to love…and hate…and love! In this August 1986 issue of Starlog magazine, Tom Skirritt is interviewed about his part in SpaceCamp: “Yeah, it wasn’t a real exciting part, but there are… Continue reading
I’ve updated the HabFiles section of the site with an article from the June/July 1992 issue of Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine! It’s a pretty good article, rife with pictures and mentions of early 1990s Space Camp. All campers in the eight-day version, “U.S. Space Academy Level II,” cap off… Continue reading
Twice in one week?! Well, what can I say, I’ve made some recent additions to my collection of Space Camp memorabilia and I wanted to share. I’m nice like that! This is another Space Camp News from Spring of 1988. It’s almost solely dedicated to the opening of the now… Continue reading
