Stargazing at Squam

Description

What better place to gaze at the stars than at Squam Lake! This guided hike will take place on February 27 from 7:00-9:00 pm at the Squam Lakes Association campus. We will spend time on our porch and the ice, conditions permitting, for some guided stargazing. This is a great event for all ages to spend some time outside and explore the night sky. LRCC member Miranda Fisher will lead guided stargazing to see what the winter sky has to offer! Participants should come prepared to spend some time standing outside with proper winter layers, boots, and microspikes for anyone who wants to venture out on to the ice. Hot beverages, spare microspikes, and additional safety gear will be provided. All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required for this free event.
