Local students headed to space camp

Posted: Updated:

LAWTON, Okla_Some Lawton students and teachers are headed to camp but this camp picked them. It's "space camp" and very few are chosen, 3 teachers and 4 Eisenhower Middle School students.

The students and teachers are getting to go to camp in Huntsville, Alabama, thanks to a grant from Northrop Grumman.

Student Michael Conner said it's an honor to have been chosen.

"I'm mostly fascinated with the electronic and mechanical work with it. That's mostly what I'd like to learn first."

The camp was founded in 1982 and provides authentic and entertaining experiences in space and aviation to both youngsters and adults.
