Come and camp “UNDER THE STARS” while you learn all about them during our exciting “Astronomy Spring Camporee”. Don’t miss this “OUT OF THIS WORLD EVENT” (see what I did there, “out of this world, astronomy….stars…). Join us at Goodenow Grove to learn more about our night skies and what resides within it. There will be day activities including rockets and night activities to include a star hike. We will explore stars, planets, and eclipses (both lunar and solar).
