"How To Build and Use A Telescope" science camps will be offered at Clark Planetarium this summer for students 12 – 14 and 15 – 17 years of age.

Participants will learn how to find their way around the night sky, interact with astronomy experts from local Universities and learn telescope use and construction with ample hands-on experience. The cost is $100 per person, or $50 for Title 1 students

 Each student will receive a six-inch Dobsonian telescope, Starry Night software, star charts, and instruction on how to use them. A graduation ceremony at the end of each camp will include a Star Party at the Salt Lake Astronomical Society’s Stansbury Park Observatory. The camps will be held on June 27-29, July 26-28, and Aug. 2-4, 2006. The fee for the camp is $100 and scholarships are available for students from Title 1 Schools.
