Taylor Starkey attended space camp this past summer and made new friends and memories. She says “Staying at Marietta College for Space Camp is a memory I will always treasure! We got to go into the planetarium and got to learn in some of the college classrooms. We got to see what it was like to drive a plane and got to see Jupiter with our own eyes. Staying in the dorms and seeing what it was like to go to Marietta College was amazing! Learning and having fun at the same time is exactly what Space Camp is all about! I made so many new friends and saw some of my friends from school. This is an experience that will last a lifetime.”
