Under the Starry Skies

Family Public Program: Under the Starry Skies

February 5, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm | ALNC members: $7/person or $25/family; Non-members: $8/person or $29/family

In the dark days of winter, there is much to be seen and heard!  Join us for an evening under the starry skies.  We’ll spend the evening hiking under the night sky to listen for owl calls during their peak winter courtship and viewing the Orion and Crab nebulas, Jupiter, and several other constellations through a telescope on the deck (weather permitting).  In between sky viewing and night hiking, warm-up by the fire in the cabin as well as participate in some indoor activities relating to owls and the night sky.  ALNC will have adult and child snowshoes available on a first come first serve basis for use during night hikes.*

*This event is weather dependent. If the skies are too cloudy for star gazing a back-up plan is set for attendees to venture through the galaxies using ALNC’s newly upgrade Immersion Theater. You will be contacted the day prior to the event if a decision is made to utilize the back-up plan.
