How a borrowed telescope in a dark field became an accredited summer camp.
Summit Camp started in 2014 with one borrowed telescope and a field full of curious kids. Today we run accredited two-week sessions led by working astronomers, educators, and a 1:6 counselor-to-camper ratio — but the mission hasn't changed: give young people a real, hands-on relationship with the universe over their heads.
Led by people who do this for real.
