Astrocamp is a 3-day two-night off-campus science school located near Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains. Students are exposed to a unique, hands-on science program designed to teach them about weather, geology, astrophysics, energy, the solar system, light, physics, the environment, space technology, rocketry, and astronomy. Last year the cost was $155.00 for the three days. Scholarships are available for those in need of financial assistance.
