Space Camp at the Queen Mary:

For the past three months I have been coordinating the efforts of a professional team to acquire the exclusive rights to build and operate Space Camps in California. The President of Space Camp has signed a Letter Of Intent to give us the license.

We are buying and moving the Space Camp from the NASA Ames site to the Queen Mary site in Long Beach. We have just completed a Seed Capital investment package to quickly raise $330k which will enable a law firm to develop and place a $5 million PPM which will fully finance the first Camp.

Would you like to sign up as one of our Fund Finders? We will pay a commission of 10%. We do all the meetings, closing, and paperwork. We have 12 $25k Units for sale for the seed capital, each acquiring a 1% equity ownership of the new Space Camp company and 3 Start-Up sales Units each for $10k each acquiring a 1% equity ownership.

In addition to individuals, we are also looking for companies who will invest so they work on the venture.

Meetings/Presentations:

NOTE: Investor and Fund Finders meetings/presentations will be held on the Queen Mary including a tour of our Camp site area on the following Saturdays between 10:00 a.m. and Noon. Please request details and RSVP. The meetings will be in the Aquitania Room next to the hotel reservations area on the third level of the ship. We will take a 10 walk out to the site are where we will build the Camp building. The dress is casual.

Executive Summary

Space Camp Southern California, Inc. (SCSC) was formed to acquire the exclusive license to build and operate Space Camps in Southern California. We have received a signed letter of intent from the president of Space Camp, Huntsville who will grant us the license to provide the license.

We plan to move the Space Camp from near San Francisco to the Queen Mary site in Long Beach. The two senior officers who ran that camp will move to Long Beach and run our camp and participate in establishing other camps.

This move provides us with a much larger site for long term expansion, access to over 1.6 million annual tourists who already visit the site, and direct support from the aerospace industry centered within 30 miles of the site. There are currently almost 100 reservations for Space Camp in California in 2003. Huntsville will conduct a nationwide marketing and reservation effort to fill our Space Camp.

12,000,000+ people live within 60 miles from our site.

We will finance the Space Camp - Queen Mary venture with a $5,000,000 Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) to be placed by a well-known mid sized broker.

SCSC has received a letter of interest from the Queen Mary operating company to build the first camp on two acres of land at their Long Beach site and to use the Queen Mary hotel for the campers rooms and provide all food service.

The Space Camp Brand:

The Space Camp brand is recognized and respected around the world. Since opening in 1982, almost 400,000 campers, including 45,000 from California, have graduated from its wide variety of programs. The campers, ranging in age from 9 to 18, spend five days and six nights training to be astronauts, conducting simulated space missions inside full scale mock-ups of the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. They learn about the science of space travel and team work.

The typical cost including room and board is $900.

NASA has been directly involved with Space Camp since its inception, providing educational materials, equipment, and expertise from active and retired professionals. Past and current corporate sponsors have donated millions of dollars to other Space Camps. Some include:

The Boeing Corporation Coca Cola
Lockheed Martin Corporation Apple Computer
Eastern Air Lines Master Card
IBM and many more

Space Place Day Tourist:

Our summer Space Camp will operate for four months with an additional month (January) closed for maintenance and simulator updating. We will operate a day tourist program during the remaining seven months called Space Place which will equal or surpass our summer camp revenues.

Surprisingly, there is no popular space place in California though we lead the nation in aerospace companies and have directly participated in all of Americas space programs.

Utilizing our 16,000 sq. ft. camp facility and our outdoor areas, we will establish a fun, exciting, and educational 2-3 hour experience for day tourists already visiting the Queen Mary site and draw space and future interested tourists to the site. We expect 200,000 tourists in our first year of full operation.
Our interactive Space Place will introduce exciting concepts such as real space tourism, colonization of the Moon and Mars and space sports.

We will originate and sell a wide range of unique products and media and host a wide variety of special events in concert with real space accomplishments.

This day visit program will attract the interest and support of major aerospace and high tech companies as major corporate sponsors who will also co-market our programs.

Our Space Camp Company:

The founders of SCSC have worked together for 20 years on a wide variety of space/future themed entertainment development projects. Our backgrounds include:

Investment and commercial banking
Design and development of space-themed theme parks, attractions, and exhibits
Award winning design work for NASA projects

We have a huge network in the aerospace, creative, entertainment, finance, and technical communities in California.

Seed Capital Investment Plan:

SCSC is in the process of raising $330,000 in seed money which will acquire a 15% equity ownership of SCSC and considered as co-founders. The funds will be used to operate the company, and place a $5,000,000 PPM which will fully finance the first Space Camp.

A 1% Unit of SCSC stock will equal a 1% ownership of the company. At incorporation, a 1% Unit will equal 1,000 shares of common stock. A 1% Unit of seed money costs $25,000. There are only 12 seed capital Units. We have 3 special start-up Units at $10,000 each with each acquiring a 1% equity ownership of SCSC.

The seed capital will be fully paid back to the investors from money raised in the PPM at the $2,000,000 level with the investor keeping their stock.
