Dark Skies Sanctuary: Promoting Astral Tourism in Tangier

In August, Tangier Island hosted an astronomy camp by UVA’s Dark Skies, Bright Kids program, engaging local children in scientific exploration. The week included hands-on activities, fostering curiosity and teamwork while learning about the universe. Organizers expressed gratitude for participants’ enthusiasm, hoping for future collaborations and promoting Tangier as a potential “Dark Sky Sanctuary.”
