Join us on Saturday, August 8th (through the morning of Sunday, August 9th) for a special astronomy campout with the Las Vegas Astronomical Society.
Join us for an unforgettable Astronomy Campout under the stars!
The evening begins at 6 p.m. as the ranch opens and guests receive a schedule and FAQ handout before gathering for a community potluck dinner at 6:30.
At 8 p.m., enjoy a special evening program featuring topics like constellation tours with laser pointers, celestial objects visible that night, dark sky conservation, and connections between the desert night sky, plants, and wildlife.
Around 9 p.m., participants can explore the night sky through telescopes, relax around the campfire, enjoy s’mores and music, or simply camp and observe at their own pace.
The next morning includes coffee time and optional breakfast from 6:30–8:45 a.m., along with a possible guided morning walk before everyone packs up and heads out by 9 a.m. before the summer heat arrives.
