Students who have
attended Camp Alpha previously, or those of you familiar with model rocket
construction, are invited to select the Challenge Kit on the registration
form. This kit comes with various pieces to build several rockets, however,
it does not include a launch system. There will be a $25.00 additional
charge for the Challenge Kit and you will need to select Option B on
the registration form.
Some of you may also
choose to substitute activities you have completed previously at Camp to
instead devote more time to rocket construction and testing. We will
discuss this with you at Camp. This will only be allowed if you are serious
about building a quality rocket and collecting scientific data. In such
cases you may be able to include accelerometers, cameras, and temperature
and pressure sensors (among other things).
