"We booked a half day with Jennie for our group of four and six year old kids at Suttle Lake. They all had a great time and we all got to do some adulting in the lake- the best part of the weekend!"
Adults and kids will enjoy the brilliance of Central Oregon's incredible night sky together with local naturalist and educator, Jennie Sharp. You'll listen to an ancient story about the stars, look at the moon through binoculars, find constellations, see planets, and learn amazing facts about our universe, all in the gorgeous setting at Suttle Lodge. A half hour after sunset, we'll gather on the dock for an intimate hour with the Universe.
Cost: 1-8 people $200 (includes $50 non-refundable booking fee)
"Jennie was awesome and stargazing was a highlight of our vacation. She tailored the experience and kept my 3 and 5 year olds engaged. They sat still for 1 hour (!) learning about the stars. Now they repeat facts about black holes, the Milky Way and red giants. My husband and I loved it too." ~ Dena (2022)
