Astronomy
Note that Astronomy is generally taught by a guest astronomer and/or the director with an instructor as an assistant. On a night with any stars at all, we spend most of the time outside observing stars, planets, constellations, shooting stars and more. We tell a legend or two, and sometimes there are telescopes or binoculars for viewing specific night sky objects. In the event of rain, we do have some optional other activities shown below!
