Graduates of Star Watch can be found in numerous clubs and organizations around the New England area. They are school teachers, planetarium lecturers, astronomy club presidents and officers, and active observers who are passing on knowledge to future generations. It is an intense, intimate weekend, with a small number of participants and a constantly changing staff of volunteers. A typical Star Watch weekend begins with arrival on Friday night. Be sure to bring warm clothes and a sleeping bag.
Accommodations are very rustic.
Friday evening's programs will be focused orientation and team building. If clear, star gazing will cap the evening's activities. Saturday morning kicks off with a hearty New England breakfast followed by the day's activities, lectures and discussions. Upon completion of the Star Watch course you will be welcomed into the ranks of the Star Watch, receive a diploma, and, if you are a member of Arunah Hill, the keys to the club house and Gaertner telescope. Star Watch graduates are expected to become more involved with public activities within their own clubs.
