Summer Camp One  2018 Hello Space Fans!      Farpoint at Renaissance Academy held its first summer space camp on June 25-27: a joint camp between Renaissance Academy and American Heritage School in American Fork.  The camp was directed by Alex Debirk, Farpoint's summer camp director.  I should also mentioned in passing that Alex is the high school physics teacher at American Heritage. He's one smart cookie. It shouldn't go without saying that Farpoint has a gifted and talented staff of flight directors and supervisors - many of whom have over ten years of space center experience. Rumors are that one of Farpoint's staff has 35 years of simulator experience - mind you, that is only a rumor.

As participants journey into outer space they will create their own adventure because each person controls the decisions on the flight. Not just entertainment, iWorlds also stimulates the mind, according to Rachel Moon, iWorlds director. "It is a great activity for kids because it is entertaining them but at the same time it is...

A Fun Ship but What a Pain to Set Up and Take Down. And a Double Pain in the Neck With its Equipment. Hello Troops!      Just recently James Porter announced that the sixth ship in the new Space Center would be named "Falcon". All you old time Space Center staff, volunteers, and campers remember the original Falcon. It took flight the first time on  February 4, 2001 and continued to operated throughout the school year for the Friday night overnight camps. It was also used all summer long for the summer space camps.  It was decommissioned in 2005 when the Phoenix opened.       I created the Falcon out of need. The demand for our Friday overnight camps and summer space camps was too much for the Voyager, Odyssey, Magellan, and Galileo to handle....
