Summer Camps At PARI (Registration is Open)
Jun 19 all-day
The Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute

PARI’s summer STEM and space camp programming is designed to inspire your young scientist’s curiosity, passion, and confidence to discover something extraordinary. We give campers experiences that encourage deeper thinking and problem solving skills while finding opportunities for comradery, adventure, and fun in the incredible Pisgah Forest region.

Our Mission Control camps provide simulated missions that cover the many topics and skills necessary for a successful exploration of world beyond our own. We’ll use the same kinds of processes that NASA, SpaceX and others use in developing and conducting journeys into space. These missions teach teamwork and STEM principles while giving campers fun and exciting experiences. The camp is an immersive journey amidst our historic campus which played a critical role in the first space race, and will help poise your camper for a role in the next.

Teams will research real technologies and techniques to build and launch a spacecraft, set science and research goals, and ensure everything needed is sent along. They will also need to choose a crew and care for their health and well-being, perform outreach and gain public support, and navigate funding and political challenges.

PARI’s research based camps are aimed at the camper who wants to experience what its like to be a researcher in astronomy, astrophysics, and astrobiology. Scientists and researchers with careers in space science lead this academically challenging curriculum that has been refined for nearly two decades.

Camps begin with an intense first few days of introductions to the instruments, science, and math needed to conduct research. They’ll be guided through choosing a research goal from the menu investigations we believe they can successfully conduct with radio and optical telescopes, and vast archives, provided by PARI and its partners.

The importance of both individual and team based work is emphasized while campers are guided through the research process. They’ll learn to share their progress and conclusions in the same ways expected in journals and at astronomical conferences.
Register for one of PARI’s summer STEM and Space Camp programs today!

Scholarships opportunities are available!

Please audition for whatever character you are most interested in! Record a 90-second video of yourself reading a Shakespeare monologue that fits the characters you’d like to be considered for – you can do so on your phone.
If possible, please film in Landscape mode, framing yourself from the waist up if able, with a neutral background. Make sure you’re well lit so that we can see your lovely face! (These are not hard and fast rules, just ideal circumstances.)
Please name your video with your name, not the default title; ex. “Smith, John Video”
On the website, click on the link below “Actor Season Video Upload Link” and upload your video.
The director will review each application and video, and will contact prospective actors for callbacks.
Important: This season, the Montford Park Players will require that all persons involved with any show must be fully vaccinated, or present a request for exemption, stating the reasons. The Executive Director, in consultation with the director, will make the final decision on the selection or non-selection of any person who is not fully vaccinated.
Anyone who is interested in a technical role only (stage management, lights, sound, etc.) should send an email to [email protected] and include your background, if any. We welcome all volunteers!

Summer Camps At PARI (Registration is Open)
Jun 26 all-day
The Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute

PARI’s summer STEM and space camp programming is designed to inspire your young scientist’s curiosity, passion, and confidence to discover something extraordinary. We give campers experiences that encourage deeper thinking and problem solving skills while finding opportunities for comradery, adventure, and fun in the incredible Pisgah Forest region.

Our Mission Control camps provide simulated missions that cover the many topics and skills necessary for a successful exploration of world beyond our own. We’ll use the same kinds of processes that NASA, SpaceX and others use in developing and conducting journeys into space. These missions teach teamwork and STEM principles while giving campers fun and exciting experiences. The camp is an immersive journey amidst our historic campus which played a critical role in the first space race, and will help poise your camper for a role in the next.

Teams will research real technologies and techniques to build and launch a spacecraft, set science and research goals, and ensure everything needed is sent along. They will also need to choose a crew and care for their health and well-being, perform outreach and gain public support, and navigate funding and political challenges.

PARI’s research based camps are aimed at the camper who wants to experience what its like to be a researcher in astronomy, astrophysics, and astrobiology. Scientists and researchers with careers in space science lead this academically challenging curriculum that has been refined for nearly two decades.

Camps begin with an intense first few days of introductions to the instruments, science, and math needed to conduct research. They’ll be guided through choosing a research goal from the menu investigations we believe they can successfully conduct with radio and optical telescopes, and vast archives, provided by PARI and its partners.

The importance of both individual and team based work is emphasized while campers are guided through the research process. They’ll learn to share their progress and conclusions in the same ways expected in journals and at astronomical conferences.

Laurel River Trail near Hot Springs NC
Jul 2 @ 8:00 am – 2:30 pm
Ingles

Laurel River Trail near Hot Springs NC

Cool off in the Laurel River, get your feet wet, experienced swimmers

Drive time to the trailhead: 40-55 minutes

Distance: 7+- miles, Out and Back
Elevation Gain: 767 ft
Difficulty: Easy, moderate, some stream crossings
Time: on trail 3hrs
Pace: 2 mph
MEETUP LOCATION: Ingles Gas Express at Ingles Market, 863 Brevard Rd, across from the Asheville Outlets near I-25. Park near the Gas Station. Look for Blue CRV with Meetup sign. We’ll carpool to the trailhead. Suggested driver donation $7.

What to bring: swim wear? shoes/water shoes, hiking poles, (if you’re getting in the water, bring change of clothes), rain gear??, change of shoes.

Trail length is 7 miles. We may or may not do the entire length.

Described as mostly easy. This out and back trail follows the Laurel River outside of Marshall and Hot Springs with scenic views of many geological formations, rapids, and former railroad town life. Quoted from the HikeWNC website: ” This trail follows Big Laurel Creek through a scenic gorge to its junction with the French Broad River at the old logging ghost town of Runion.”

The trail is an old railroad bed which used to carry logs to the Runion sawmill in the 1920’s, and as such, is mostly level. However, it’s rocky and rooty in spots, so do bring the boots. Expect some muddy trail conditions.

A few small streams flow across the trail at various points, and bluffs tower over the river making the valley narrow and enclosed with precipitous slopes on either side. Huge boulders choke the gorge forming raging rapids in places, and a few deep holes. The trail nears its end at the former logging town of Runion. In its heyday, Runion was home to more than 1,000 people. Brick chimneys and crumbling foundations still remain – one of the few “ghost towns” in North Carolina.”

Well behaved dogs welcome.

Lunch after hike: [Spring Creek Tavern]((http://thespringcreektavern.com/) A group favorite.

Cove Creek Falls Hike
Jul 2 @ 10:45 am – 2:45 pm
The Hub and Pisgah Tavern

3.6 mile out and back, ~700 ft elevation gain, to explore two falls in Pisgah. Bring lunch and a swimsuit – we’ll take time to rest and play in the water if folks want!

A later start (yay!) but Pisgah parking holiday weekend will be… challenging. Start time is when carpool leaves from The Hub at 276 and 280. We’ll be at trailhead (Cove Creek and Candy Bottom Parking off Fish Hatchery Road) ready to hike at 11:15.

For full trail description or directions to trailhead, see “Cove Creek Falls and Toms Spring Falls” on AllTrails
