Trip Description: Leave the city lights behind and experience one of Florida's darkest skies. We'll spend the weekend camping beneath the stars, enjoying a campfire, and learning to identify constellations, planets, and other celestial objects. Whether you're an avid astronomy enthusiast or simply looking for a relaxing weekend outdoors, this trip offers the perfect opportunity to disconnect, unwind, and appreciate the beauty of the night sky.

These meals are not included in your trip cost. Your Trip Leaders will inform you of any meals not included in the trip price.
What's Not Included: Participants should wear athletic clothing, appropriate footwear, and bring personal water/snacks. A full packing list will be provided at the Pre-Trip Meeting.
