Dark Skies Conservation Area Adventure Series
Sept 7 Saturday 5:00-10:00PM
MEET AT LITTLE COMPTON LAKE CONSERVATION AREA for an evening of outdoor fun with an overnight camping option. Enjoy archery, fishing, (dinner break), a slide show on dark skies and a tour of the stars with digital telescopes from (TBD) astronomical society.
*This is a (Class 3) dark sky area. For comparison, the Blue Springs area is Class 5-6, two-three classes brighter. Little Compton Lake CA is about a 2-hour drive northeast of Blue Springs, MO. *Archery/fishing equipment will be provided by MDC for this program. BRING YOUR OWN FOOD, WATER AND CAMPING GEAR IF YOU CHOOSE TO CAMP FOR THE NIGHT. MO fishing rules apply: 65 and older and under 16 don’t need a license. There is a privy and large gravel parking lot with larger flat mowed area around it (NO ELECTRICITY). It is an MDC area, so no fees to camp.
Area regulations say dogs must be leashed.
 
Archery and fishing programs offered from 5:00PM - 6:30PM. Then, we break for dinner.
People may chose to fish again after they eat. Dark Skies/Astronomy program from 8:30-10:30PM.
People may choose to camp or drive home after that.
Limit of 40
