Our Vision
Over the next ten years, we aim to improve the quality of experiences at Astronomy Camp by ...
- Consistently incorporating research-based, pedagogical best practices in science education;
- Incorporating the latest technical and scientific developments in astronomy into our base educational topics;
- Engaging our extensive alumni base to mentor today's students and promote the many successful careers our Campers have undertaken;
- Providing additional long-term mentoring for research projects, which highly motivated students present at local, regional, state, and national levels;
- Improving access to Astronomy Camp by increasing participation from underrepresented groups through recruiting, outreach, and scholarship opportunities with particular focus on our greater Arizona community and The University of Arizona student population.
Make a Donation to Astronomy Camp Programs
Thank you for considering a donation to Astronomy Camp! Your gift will inspire a new generation of students and help them consider careers not only in
Astronomy but also in related STEM fields, including business, computer science, education, engineering, health, etc. Many of Camp's alumni have benefitted from scholarships that your donation will support. Our young Campers are inspired just knowing that people like yourself are investing in their future.
Historically, donations like yours have funded scholarships (full or partial) to students in financial need and also have helped reduce logistical expenses so we can maintain both quality & attractiveness to low-income families. Our scholarship recipients will write you a personal Thank-you note after Camp.
You may donate in two ways:
1. Email the Camp Director (Dr. Don McCarthy) to discuss your preferences and to arrange payment.
2. Use a ticket from Eventbrite which transfers funds to an Astronomy Camp account at The University of Arizona.
Thanks in advance!
