Summer Stargazing

On August 25th join seasoned stargazing guide, Meaghan Skye, on this nighttime adventure! Explore the magic of the mountain in the dark, taking part in what humans have been doing for thousands of years... gazing up in wonder at the night sky! During this program, you will be introduced to basic stargazing tips and tricks for navigating the night sky. Enjoy a captivating blend of scientific facts and the latest information from Nasa and other space agencies as well as stories and mythology from a variety of ancient cultures, local and international alike. 

Meet in the village by the clock tower at 8pm with your friends and family! Bring a headlamp or flashlight, a blanket to sit on, and a curious mind. We will provide a red cellophane to cover your light(unless you have a red light setting!), and a warm beverage at our destination.
