We are thrilled to announce a new collaboration between Dyer Observatory and Vanderbilt’s Programs for Talented Youth (PTY). In lieu of our traditional camps, this summer Dyer will join PTY’s renowned Summer Academy at Vanderbilt for the Young to pilot an astronomy and space science camp designed for academically advanced rising 5th and 6th graders.
Led by Dyer Observatory Director Dr. Billy Teets, this specialized camp will offer engaging, hands-on experiences at both the main Vanderbilt campus and Dyer Observatory. Space is limited, making this a unique opportunity for young learners. This pilot program is part of Dyer Observatory’s ongoing efforts to expand summer programming for kids, and we look forward to building on this exciting initiative in the future. More details, including the camp application, can be found on the SAVY camp website. Registration opens Jan. 7, 2025. Join us for this exciting new chapter in Dyer’s summer programming!
Though we may not have our regular summer camps, Dyer Observatory is actively developing additional summer programming!
