Camps
Astronomy in Color! Summer Camp at Siena College
August 4-8, 2025 (very limited spots remaining)
Dudley at Siena looks forward to offering camps again for 6-8th grade students interested in astronomy, science, and the arts.
Astronomy is all about using light and color to study the universe. In this camp, students in Grades 6-8 will join astronomer Dr. Mindy Townsend for an incredible summer camp adventure on Siena College campus.
Activities during this week include learning how different types of light can unlock the secrets of the cosmos, building your own spectroscope, understanding the visible and invisible colors of stars and galaxies, learning how to take pictures without a fancy camera, and more. No previous astronomy knowledge is required.
