Students attending the camp meet other like-minded people who share their passion for astronomy and astrophysics. The school includes astronomy classes, workshops, and seeing the largest optical telescope in New Zealand.Open to just 20 students each year, the annual Elaine P. Snowden Astronomy School camp is an inspiring experience for successful applicants.This year, the camp will take place 16-20 April at UC's Ilam campus in Christchurch and the Mount John University Observatory in Tekapo. There is no charge for the camp – even travel costs are covered by the generous sponsor.
