Morgan County Observatory Foundation annual Astronomy/Rocketry youth summer camp will be held the weeks of August 5-9 and 12-16 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Camp is geared towards kids from 8-15 years old and includes building and launching model rockets, telescope building, solar viewing, hands on activities, movies, games and more.
Each day consists of morning and afternoon rocket launches, midday snack and movie break, along with other astronomy related activities.
