Monday July 22
Welcome to the first day of camp! Today, you will be introduced to the weeks activities.
There will be six teams. Each team will be a planet. Each planet wants to join the United Federation of
Planets, but only one will be allowed to. Throughout the camp, you will do activities to help your planet
join the UFP.
Your teams are going to make a poster for your planet. Each poster will have a logo for your planet and a
chant for your species.
Your teams logo should be connected to the name of your teams planet. So think of an interesting
design for your team, and then draw it on the poster
paper.
Your chant should be a short song (one or two lines). It
should be about your species. You can write your chant
at the bottom of the poster.
When everyone is finished, you are going to stand up as
a team, and present the poster and chant.
Throughout the camp, you will be given stickers. If you
win an event, your team will get a sticker. If you are
quiet and acting well, you will get a sticker. If you help
other people use English, you will get a sticker. The
team with the most stickers will be the team that gets to
join the UFP. The winning team members get a special
prize.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
After a short break, we will start the next group of exercises. You will be given some riddles in an alien
language. First, you must translate the language into English. Then, you must solve the riddles with your
team.
When you have finished that, you will be tested on your species brain capacity. Youll be given a series
of brain teasers, and you must think of the correct answer! The faster you can solve them, the more
stickers you will get.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, before you go home, you will write in your daily log. A log is like a journal. Write what happened
to you and your team on the paper.

Translation Challenge
Look at the following letters. Use them to translate the following sentences into English. Once you have
finished with the translation, solve the riddles with your team.

Tuesday July 23
Welcome to the second day of camp! Today we are going to cook, so I hope youre hungry.
The meals ingredients might be a little strange, so first you must try and decipher the recipe.
Once you know which ingredient is which, you can start following the recipe and create the
meal.
Once everyone has finished making the meal, you can eat it! Enjoy your alien lunch.
After eating, you must write a food review. Tell us how you made the meal, and what you
thought of the taste.
__________________________________________
In the third period, you will be introduced to the
council presentations. Your team must make a
presentation for your planet. Because you want
your planet to join the UFP, you must make a
presentation that will impress the judges.
The presentation will use large poster board. When
the introduction is finished, you will work together
in your teams to start researching for your planet.
You should research the culture on your planet.
What do your people like to do? What is their
history? What are some interesting facts about
their society? You may also want to include some pictures.
You can use the computers in the classroom to research your planet. If there are any pictures
youd like to use, you can use the printer to print them out.
______________________________________________________________________________
Finally, you will write in your daily log and explain what happened today.

Wednesday July 24
Today, we are going to test your leadership skills, and judge how quickly you can solve tasks working
together. There will be different tasks to perform in different rooms. You need to work together in your
teams and accomplish the tasks as quickly as possible. A teacher will be there to judge your progress.
You can win stickers depending on your performance.
After the tasks have been completed, there will be a series of games. The games will rotate quickly so
everyone has an opportunity to win. This is a good chance to win many stickers for your team.
Because we will do a lot of exercising, it would
be a good idea to wear comfortable clothes.
Make sure they are cool, so you dont get too
hot. It would also be a good idea to bring a water
bottle.
________________________________________
To cool down, you will work on your council
presentations. Your poster display should be
nearly finished by the time you are finished. Add as much information as you can today. If you need help
in getting information for your planet, ask a teacher for assistance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the day, we will listen to some music. You can use the worksheet to listen to the song and
fill in the blanks. If you have the correct word, you can win some points for your team.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Before you go home, dont forget to write an entry in your journal!

Tasks Description
Puzzle Task
In one room, each member of your team will be given a small piece of paper with a picture on
it, and a big piece of paper with nothing on it.
Each member of the team must draw the same picture that is on the little paper, onto the big
paper. When you are finished drawing, one team member will go across the room and look at
the real picture. That team member must tell the others how to put the puzzle together (in
English). That team member cannot touch any of the puzzle pieces.
The team that finishes their puzzle the quickest gets the most points.

Tongue Twister
In the other room, your team will be given a tongue twister. Form your team into a line. Every student in
your team must be able to perform the tongue twister without making a mistake. If someone makes a
mistake, then the entire line must say it again starting with the first person.
Each team will start with 15 points. Every time they make a single mistake, and start over, that team
loses one point.

Space Oddity Lyrics

Based on David Bowies song, and covered by Chris Hadfield
Ground Control to Major Tom.
Ground Control to Major Tom.
Lock your Soyuz hatch, and put your helmet on.
Ground Control to Major Tom.
Commencing countdown; engines on.
Detach from station, and may Gods love be with you.
This is Ground Control to Major Tom.
Youve really made the grade.
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
But its time to guide the capsule if you dare.
This is Major Tom to Ground Control,
Ive left forevermore.
And Im floating in a most peculiar way.
And the stars look very different today.
For here am I sitting in a tin can,
Far above the world..
Planet Earth is blue, and theres nothing left to do.
Though Ive flown one hundred thousand miles,
Im feeling very still.
And before too long I know its time to go.
Our commander comes back down back to Earth and knows.
Ground Control to Major Tom,
The time is near near; theres not too long.
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear--Here am I floating in my tin can.
Last glimpse of the world.
Planet Earth is blue, and theres nothing left to do.

Thursday July 25
Today we are going to start the day with some short films. We will watch a few of them, and
then when were finished, you will choose one film to write a review about.
When writing the review, please write a summary of the films story. Then, explain what you
liked about it. Try to write in complete sentences.
Once everyone is finished writing, you will present your reviews by reading what you have
written. If your review is really well done, you will win sticker points for your team.
______________________________________________________________________________
Today, you wont be working on your display. Instead you will plan and shoot a video. The video
will be a petition to join the UFP. You need to explain your case, and why you want to join the
UFP. Explain your planets culture and society. Explain how you would benefit if your planet was
accepted into the UFP.
You can write your script on a paper. You can have one student speak in the petition video, or
you can have everybody speak in turn. You will be given a camera to shoot the video. Zackary
will take everyones finished video files and make a video.
We will watch the finished videos on Friday morning.
______________________________________________________________________________
This will be the last day you write a journal entry! Tell us what you think of the entire camp, so
far! Which activities did you like the most? What should be improved? Let us know!
Remember, tomorrow will be the day you have your presentation. If you need to prepare
anything at your home, you should do it this afternoon or evening. If you are going to have a
presentation in costume, you should make the costume this evening. Dont forget anything
when you come to school tomorrow!
