Wyoming Astro Camp

Wyoming Astronomy Camp is a living/learning summer community of students, teachers, and scientists working together to understand the universe through hands on experiments and telescope activities.

Tentatively, applications for the Summer Astro Camp in June 2010 will be due April 14, 2010. Look for application materials starting in mid February. Dates for Astro Camp are set for Sunday June 20 through Tuesday June 29. Travel and financial assistance stipends are available to qualified students requiring financial assistance (upon request). Astro Camp is open to all students who are entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade. Participants from previous Astro Camps are eligible to apply, but preference will be given to students who have never attended. We expect to mail admission letters to admitted students the week of May 1.

Application materials (due April 14, 2010):

• 2009 Brochure about Wyoming Astro Camp
• 2010 Student Application Form (comming in mid-February)
• 2010 Recommendation Form (print 2 copies)
