Space Centre Sleepover

The last camp was at the National Space Museum apart from the long drive I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

The two best things about the trip was going into the planetarium to watch the show about the astronauts and also watching Henry and Jack dress up as aliens (that was so funny). 

When we first arrived at the space museum we got a tour which was interesting because it was so empty, I’m used to little kids running around and bumping into you but no it was almost like everyone had disappeared into outer space!

Then we all went into the planetarium and watched what the sky looked like that night. We got to see all of the stars and shapes they created together!

After a long journey we then got to eat our packed teas, by then everyone was REALLY hungry so it was a good job that we ate something soon otherwise we would have all gone wild…

After that we split up into different groups and did some activities around the museum such as: team work games, rocket building, exploring round the museum and much more excitable things! 

As there were beavers, cubs and scouts, most of us were younger so that meant an earlier bedtime (I think it was the right time to go to bed anyway as everyone was really tired), we got to sleep in the museum next to one of the exhibitions on the floor, but it took about half an hour for everyone to dose off. 

In the morning we all got up and packed our sleeping bags and other things away so we didn’t have to hassle later.

Then we headed back down to the dining area and we all got our own little breakfast bags witch contained: a chocolate muffin, yoghurt, a juice carton and a bag of sliced apple (they were very yummy).

Then as a final activity we went back into the planetarium and watched a film which was amazing! It was all about the inside of an astronaut’s body before and after lift-off and how going into space often can affect you and your life!

As I said I loved this camp and thought it was jam packed with lots of different and fun activities and I would definitely go again!
