Sagamore Seminars in Science: Stargazing
Join us for a three-night stargazing program at Great Camp Sagamore! Located in one of the darkest regions east of the Mississippi, the central Adirondacks offers some of the best stargazing opportunities around. This program is suitable for all levels, from novice stargazers to expert astronomy enthusiasts, and everyone in between.
This program will include presentations on astronomy, an overview of how to use telescopes and binoculars, the history of astronomy, identification of celestial objects, and more. Once it gets dark we will shut off all the lights in camp and head outside to observe the night sky.
