The Earth, it's moon and the stars beyond it are just a few of the wonders we can study in space. Planets, galaxies and meteors too! If all or any of these are your jam, join us for a weekend packed with space exploration.
This weekend will give you the option to pick your favorite space subjects to explore during the day. Then at night join Camp Meriwether Staff for some of the best star and planet gazing Greater Atlanta camps have to offer!
Even more exciting is after spending a weekend learning and exploring space you will be prepared for the solar eclipse the following Monday!
