Stargazing at Squam

February 27 @ 7:00 pm9:00 pm

This week's program

What better place to gaze at the stars than at Squam Lake! This week’s guided hike will take place at the SLA campus. We will spend time on our porch and the ice, conditions permitting, for some guided stargazing. This is a great event for all ages to spend some time outside and explore the night sky.

Participants should come prepared to spend some time standing outside with proper winter layers, boots, and microspikes for anyone who wants to venture out on to the ice. Hot beverages, spare microspikes, and additional safety gear will be provided!

All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Registration is required for this free event.

Participants should be sure to have appropriate attire and layering for winter hiking. Extra layers, comfortable water resistant hiking shoes, and snowshoes and/or microspikes may be needed depending on conditions. The SLA can provide snowshoes & microspikes for up to six participants. Other snow hiking gear may be available upon request. Snacks are welcome as we will be taking breaks on the trail.
