| Camacho Activity Center | ||
The Camacho Activity Center is a community center operated by the Austin Parks and Recreation Department. The center offers a variety of summer camp programs for the neighborhood. One of these involved building rockets. The students already built their own rockets, so AARG gave them a little presentation and helped with the launching.
The weather was hot, but very still and we were able to get some B flights to a good altitude in on a baseball diamond without much drift.
