“The European Space Camp was an incredible experience where I met some truly amazing people. When we weren’t building our rocket or listening to a lecture there were always plenty of social activities going on. We swam in 4° C water under the midnight sun, competed in a GPS treasure hunt and even joined in on a whale-watching safari.
