Snake Valley Astronomy Camp - Nov 2007

SNAKE VALLEY ASTRONOMY CAMP
- 9th - 13th NOVEMBER 2007


4 nights of exquisite Dark Skies

Yes, The November Snake Valley Astronomy Camp is approaching soon, so I will open the bookings.

We have gone International with a booking from a Gentleman in Denmark!

We have managed to keep the prices the same as the previous 4 Camps which are extremely affordable.

Power is available on the Observing field.

Bunkhouses (per person)
2 nights $30.00
3 nights $45.00
4 nights $59.00

Campsite (per person)
2 nights $28.00
3 nights $42.00
4 nights $55.00

Children under 5 y.o. – FREE

The Spectacular SATURDAY NIGHT FEAST will be on again!
Adults -$15, Under 12yo -$10

I will need to know the following:
1. definite booking?
2. how many in your group?
3. how many nights? and which nights?
4. Bunkhouse or campsite?
5. Sat Night Feast? and for how many?


Bring your tent, Caravan, Winnibago or book into one of the bunkhouses.

Don't forget the fishing gear, swimmers, canoes, etc.

I will keep updating this thread as the Program is organised.

Bookings can be made in this thread

Ken

I had such a great time last year (even with the speeding ticket) that I really want to make it again this year but I wont know until early November

So can you book me in for the Saturday night bean feast Ill pay for that even if I cant make it.

Also as I'll be camping - can I confirm at the last minute ???


Thanks.
Chris
