Scientific paper

Funding for astronomy equipment and supplies, and camping equipment and supplies, was used to introduce students from DuSable High School, a public school on the South Side of Chicago, to astronomy and the natural environment. Over half the students on our camping trips had only been outside the city of Chicago once before, several of them never before. Several lessons were learned about how to make such a program successful: (1) recruit experienced campers as volunteers to serve as counselors and aides; (2) plan many structured activities, with varied tones; and (3) reconvene the camping groups once back in the city to maintain friendships formed during the trip.
