　　　Which American schoolchild hasn't heard of Space Camp? It is a legendary institution1 more exclusive2 and exciting than Disneyland. Children collect cereal3 box tops, sell charity chocolates, or enter annual contests in hopes of winning a spot at the camp. At Space Camp, children from ages nine to 18 can experience the life of an astronaut4. Not far from where actual space missions are launched, campers are put through a week of astronaut training exercises and flight simulations.
　　At Camp Kennedy Space Center in Florida, children learn to fly rockets and space shuttles by using complicated simulators5. This training ends in a large role-play6, where children work together to complete a successful space shuttle mission. Another big Space Camp is not far away in Huntsville, Alabama. There, children can experience what it is like to be in outer space7. They go through the challenge of moving in space with equipment that creates the feeling of walking on the moon. No matter which camp you choose, the experience is out of this world.

　　哪一個美國學童沒聽過太空營？這個傳奇性的機構比迪士尼樂園更難進入，且更加刺激。孩童們會蒐集早餐穀片包裝盒的盒蓋、義賣巧克力，或者是參加一年一度的比賽，為的就是希望能贏得參加太空營的資格。年紀從九到十八歲的孩子都能在太空營裡體驗太空人的生活。就在距離進行真正太空任務的基地的不遠處，學員們會經歷為期一週的太空人訓練活動以及模擬飛行訓練。
　　在佛羅里達州的甘迺迪太空中心夏令營裡，孩童使用複雜的模擬器來學習駕駛火箭和太空梭。這個訓練營會以大型的角色扮演活動作為結束，當中會讓孩童攜手完成一趟成功的太空梭任務。另一個大型的太空營則是在相距不遠的阿拉巴馬州杭特維爾市。孩童們在那裡能體驗身處外太空是何等滋味。他們會藉由一套能模擬月球漫步感覺的設備，來體會在太空中移動的挑戰性。不論您選擇的是哪一個夏令營，其中的體驗絕對是棒得令人彷彿置身於九霄雲外。
