Reaches of the Universe
August 12 - August 16 Sold out!
Join us for a week-long exploration of the Universe! With the help of instructors, children will discover the wonders of our solar system and the vast reaches of space. Exciting, hands-on activities will help them learn about the Earth and our moon, giant planets like Saturn and Jupiter, and the Milky Way galaxy that we live in!
In our quest to uncover the mysteries of space we will learn and use the tools that professional astronomers utilize everyday! This week will also include attendance for 2 adults and 2 children at Open Night at Loines Observatory, so campers and their families can see astronomy in action! Your junior astronomers will finish the week ready to take on the world - better yet, the universe!
Please pack a snack, plenty of water, and a lunch each day for your camper.
