| Hello! I direct a program called Astronomy Camp (astronomycamp.org) that engages people of all ages at our mountaintop research observatories in southern Arizona for an adventure in astronomy and science in general. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2012, and I have noticed that no one from West Virginia has ever attended. I am wondering if anyone from your Astronomy Club would be interested in our programs or if you could suggest how I might spread the word to middle- and high-schools in your area. We have weeklong Camps for teenagers in June on either Mt. Lemmon or Kitt Peak National Observatory. These Camps have proven to be very motivational as you can read from the "Alumni" section of our Web site. Thanks for your help! Don McCarthy Astronomer The University of Arizona |
