2017 Solar Eclipse Field Camp

2017 Solar Eclipse Field Camp - Registration at Bottom of PagE

Here's a great opportunity to see the TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE at a private location in South Carolina. We have arranged a 3-day weekend field camp experience for students and their families. All are welcome - you do not need to be registered with the school to participate in this event.

We will have telescopes for night viewing Saturday evening along with some other astronomy-themed activities and then meet again on Sunday afternoon for age-appropriate ecology, earth, and space activities that are fun and educational. Contests scavenger hunts, science experiments, microscope activities, and even some speakers. Then, Monday is the big event! We will meet in the morning and learn more about the solar eclipse, eat a barbecue lunch, learn how to watch safely and then share the event as the moon moves between the Earth and the Sun.

The fee includes:

T-shirt
Evening snack on Saturday, dinner on Sunday, and a snack and barbeque lunch on Monday.
