Astronomy by Kayak

101 Pine Grove Road, Fayetteville, PA 17222-8224

ATTENTION – PARTICIPATION IN THIS PROGRAM *REQUIRES PRE-REGISTRATION*.

Take a moment to look at the stars - while sitting in a kayak. All equipment (kayaks, paddles, vests) will be provided, but please dress appropriately for the weather. No experience is required. If you can sit in a chair without falling out, then you can handle a kayak on a calm lake.

This program is for ages 12 and over. If there are storms, the program will be cancelled.

Participation is free, but pre-registration is required. There are a total of ten pirogues available. Participants must sign a safety waiver, and wear a life vest during the entire event. Water shoes and insect spray are recommended. Please bring a headlamp or flashlight.

We hope to see constellations, planets, the International Space Station, and the USS Enterprise. Participants are responsible for ensuring the skies will be clear of clouds. Any questions call 717-352-2161.

Due to limited boats and gear, pre-registration is absolutely required. If you show up without pre-registering, you will not be able to participate. After registering, you will receive an autoreply confirming your registration. If the calendar system does not allow you to register, then the program has reached max capacity. These programs provide kayaks and gear, so they are very popular. Please reserve far in advance to secure a spot. You may bring your own kayaks and tag along with the group, but your safety is your own responsibility, and you do not need to pre-register.
