Many door and raffle prizes given away. Admission is charged to all who attend, including club members. Members of other clubs from Maryland to New Hampshire usually attend. Our club sponsors the Summer Star Party and Family Camping Vacation for a full week, each July or August at a private camp ground in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. The skies at this location are very dark and the price can't be beat.
All campsites have water and electricity hookups.
Most attendees visit various tourist attractions during the days. Motels are located nearby for those who do not camp. We plan organized trips to special events such as solar eclipses and national star parties. Many of our members joined the club after having attended one of these events. RAC is affiliated with the Astronomical League, a national organization of more than 230 clubs with more than 10,000 members.
