Are you curious about the night skies and what astronomy is all about? Then this three-day and two-night camp is for you. This new BCR offering is geared for any 12-14 year old who is curious about our celestial skies. This camp will feature presentations on various topics in astronomy and night observations using the Reserve?s telescopes, weather permitting. Topics include the bright stars and constellations, galaxies, nebulae, the solar system and the future of the universe. There will also be non-astronomical daytime camp activities offered as well. Campers should bring a sleeping bag and gear for two nights and two days of fun at the Reserve. Tuesday and Wednesday meals will be provided and daily snacks will be included.
