An Introduction to Astro-Instrumentation
Our middle school camp is now a fast-paced, three-day program running from Wednesday to Friday, 4 pm to 10 pm! Designed for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, this condensed format still delivers all the excitement of astronomical research. Through hands-on experiments, nighttime observing, and real data collection, campers step into the role of a scientist. If your student dreams of operating a telescope or gathering data with a spectrograph, they’ll feel right at home in this immersive midweek adventure.
Designed for students going into 7th, 8th, or 9th grade in the fall, this year at middle school camp, students will learn how to navigate the night sky. Campers will be able to operate telescopes and other scientific instruments to aid in their mission. Other activities include team-building, hiking, drawing, playing games, and more.
These activity-based, week-long day camps run from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. This year at middle school camp, students will learn about instruments used in Astronomical Photography.
