Astronomy Camp is all about discovering the Eureka moment! Under the dark skies of Southern Arizona, students of all ages explore "the heavens" with large telescopes and experience the excitement of scientific inquiry. The unique environments at Mount Lemmon Observatory immediately north of Tucson, Arizona, and Kitt Peak National Observatory just west of Tucson, provide outstanding views of the sky and encourage exploration. Astronomy Camp is an "immersion" experience that merges all four STEM letters: Science, technology, engineering, and numerical thinking ("math"). Since 1988, thousands of Campers worldwide have become real astronomers; operating research-class telescopes and technology, keeping nighttime hours, interacting with leading scientists, interpreting their own observations, investigating their own questions and curiosities, and most importantly having fun doing so.
