Join us for a stargazing program let by KVMR’s Alan Stahler!

We’ll observe the stars and the first quarter moon, both naked-eye and through a telescope. Alan will lead us through “star dances,” to experience why the moon goes through phases, why we have seasons, why we see different constellations at different times of the year.

No matter how warm the daytime temps, bring a sweater.

On Friday, Session 4 campers went home after a full week of activities, including a 3-day backpacking excursion. 

On Sunday our 2-week Teen Leadership Camp session begins to complete our 2022 summer camp sessions.

We had the chance to hear from some tired yet very happy campers last week who had just returned from their backpacking trip. One camper shared that he really enjoyed the hiking, saying “It was hard, but it wasn’t. I like going through challenges – pushing past the pain and getting to the final destination.”

Another said, “At home, we stay inside, do stuff inside, be on our computers. At Camp Woolman we get to be outside and have fun with the new people that we meet and the people we already knew.”
