Paola, Ryane and I woke-up once again to the Alabama heat.  Paola and I are READY to go home.  Ryane on the other hand, would like to move permanently to Huntsville.

The morning began with the typical space camp breakfast, followed by graduation rehearsal and then..........Graduation!!!

All of the campers from the week assembled in the graduation room wearing their camp T-shirts.







The color of the T-shirt identified the program that the campers participated in.  Our shirts were red because the students learned about both Aviation and Space.  The high school students from WPSD wore green shirts because they were involved in the Advanced Academy.

Each team was called onto the stage to receive their graduation certificate.

Team Earhart was called back to the stage to receive a special award for designing the best team patch.  The campers had worked together through the week to create a patch unique to their team.

The Top Dog award in airplane combat fighting went to Cassie from WPSD.  Ryane held the number 2 position.

Ethan, also from WPSD,  received the over-all camper award.  The Pennsylvania campers made us proud!

 After graduation, all of the Pennsylvania students stood for one final photo.  Through the week, these students became my own.  When it was time to claim the girls for the flight home, I forgot that I only had two.

 Ryane and Paola wanted one last photo in front of Pathfinder.

We boarded the van and headed to the airport.  We arrived with time to relax before the flight home.

Ryane and Paola are looking forward to showing off their red Space Camp shirts.   We are on our way home with many stories to share.  :)
