Astro Mark's Astro Alert: What’s Up Above? June Stargazing
By “Astro” Mark Laurin
Let’s have a picnic. Let’s go to the park, run in the grass, and feel summer between our toes. Across the land, the call went out to one and all. Summer is coming! Summer is coming! Cometh one by hazy lazy long days, or cometh two by the cool waters that swell around your ankles, calves, and knees. On Wednesday, June 21st, at 8:57am Mountain Time summer arrives. A cheer will rise and be heard throughout the northern hemisphere, summer is here!
2022 Annual Report
2022 was our Year of Community - a fitting tribute to the Science School’s journey building past the impacts of the pandemic. Our successes would not have been possible without the support of everyone who makes up our community from our funders to our donors, to our staff and board, and the youth and families that continue to enjoy the KSS Magic.

Our Summit Community Funders Make Camp Possible for Local Students
