Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We decided to support park management by setting up telescopes for “Family Camp Jam” during a special evening of family camping at Johns Island County Park. The weather held up for most of the night and we had some good views of Jupiter and Mars, much to everyone’s delight. There was a huge crowd of campers and most of them came by to take a look through our equipment. We had 6 members, 7 telescopes, 1 binocular setup and 150 visitors, and I’d estimate half of them were kids. There were long lines at each piece of equipment until the clouds rolled in. It was a very busy evening.
