Located in the path of totality for the 2024 Solar Eclipse, Touch of Nature is the perfect location to turn the eclipse into a fun filled experience. One extended weekend price includes lodging, all activities and meals, and educational sessions.

Staff, along with other amateur and professional astronomers, will be on hand to help everyone in attendance enjoy this event. We are happy to open this event up to people of all ages so bring the family, bring your school group, gather up your local astronomy club/group or just come on your own and enjoy the show. For nearly 4 minutes and 9 seconds, the sun will be completely blacked out in the middle of the day!

One extended weekend price includes lodging, all activities and all meals on Saturday/Sunday/Monday, educational sessions, and prime eclipse viewing space. All activities will take place in the main camp. Live streaming of the eclipse will be available should we experience inclement weather the day of the eclipse. A variety of lodging options are available.
