Gear up for this amazing star gazing night as we capture this summer’s meteor shower! Our evening will begin with a fun interactive intergalactic activity that will help us understand our solar system. We will then stretch out under the stars to capture one of this season’s spectacular outer galactic shows!
We will view the different stars and constellations and tell stories of astronomy folklore as we watch for meteors crossing the night sky.
This program does not include hiking.
Reviewing the 1-through-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness to participate in this level-1 activity on the land.

This viewing is family-friendly, but children must be closely supervised by an adult and remain seated with the group It is recommended that you bring a camp chair that is portable to set up on an uneven dirt surface to enjoy the evening. Wear closed-toe shoes, bring water, and dress in layers as the day may be warm, but the evening may be very cool.
We will be sedentary while watching the meteor shower. There are limited facilities where we will be viewing and the group cannot separate. We will be in a wilderness setting, so children are asked to remain with the group and with their parent or guardians at all times.
Factors such as marine layer, particulate matter, or light pollution from surrounding urban areas, may affect visibility and/or cancellation of this activity.
