Camp Delany star party is our premier bi-annual star party set in the beautiful canyons of Sun Lakes State Park in Eastern Washington. We have been hosting this party since 1991 when our members found the Camp Delany Environmental Learning Center located in the park. We started with just 2 nights on the September new moon weekend and have since expanded it to 4 nights! Our spring star party started in 2003 when we found that we were missing the spring skies! For the most part, we have wonderful clear dark skies that are so rare in Western Washington! All are welcome. We have folks using their 24 inch telescopes all the way down to their binoculars!
Included in the price of the Star Party are all meals and accommodations. The bunkhouses have heating and air conditioning and there are warm showers. We have great meals and have potluck dessert after dinner (bring your favorite). In order to keep the Star Party enjoyable for all, we ask that all folks pitch in to help with cooking and cleaning!
