EXPLORE THE SKY CAMP
Please help us share the wonders of the night sky
Summary
Asociatia Educatie Prin Aventura Remetea Chioarului is a nonprofit foundation, located in Remetea Chioarului, Maramures County, Romania.
The purpose of the Association is to contribute to the education of children and teenagers through educational camps. Our first camp will be called “Explore the Sky” and will be an astronomy camp.
More than 80% of the people from USA and more than 60% from Europe have never seen the Milky Way in the night sky, because of the light pollution that surrounds them!
The astronomy Camp “Explore the Sky” wants to help change that for some children and teenagers.
Camp presentation
The astronomy Camp “Explore the Sky” will explore the theme of visible and the invisible Universe through lectures, hands-on activities, and nighttime observations with telescopes and others instruments from our dome observatory. Social activities (outdoor recreation activities, reading, creating art) and excursions (like visiting Baia Mare Planetarium, Remetea Chioarului Fortress, Wooden Churches), will contribute to making the camp a memorable experience for children and teenagers.
Here, astro-landscape photographers can learn to photograph the best starry night skies in combination with stunning landscapes.
The camp covers full board accommodation at modern tents (glamping), supervision by professional staff, all astronomical and leisure activities, materials, excursions, internal transport and insurance.
We will offer free tickets for five underprivileged children to participate on our camp.
Where and When?
The camp will be located in a low light pollution area, near the village of Remetea Chioarului, in Maramures County, Romania, and will be held each year in this dark-sky region.
It is only 20 minutes from Baia Mare City.
The camp sits on 20,000 square meters and is recommended for unmatched stargazing, air clarity, and freedom from light pollution.
Where? The period is between the 8th and 14th August when there are a lot of celestical events.
![]() |
August 8 – New Moon The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 13:51 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere. |

August 12, 13 – Perseids Meteor Shower. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by comet Swift-Tuttle, which was discovered in 1862. The Perseids are famous for producing a large number of bright meteors. The waxing crescent moon will set early in the evening, leaving dark skies for what should be an excellent show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Perseus, but can appear anywhere in the sky. |
The purposes of the astronomy camp
For the vast majority of the children and teenagers, the encounter with astronomical research early in their lives has stronger formative than educational impact. Self-discipline, organizational skills, sense of responsibility, teamwork, respect to others – these are all qualities that the camp environments stimulates.
The camp help propagate at the very basic level the habit of critical thinking among the children and teenagers.
Camp activities
Accommodation will be provided in glamping tents with 4 star conditions.
We really set out to create a new standard for outdoor hospitality with our tents. It comes with therapeutic queen mattresses, pillows, linens, comforter, bedside tables, plush carpets & floor pillows, ambient lighting, chairs & can fit up to 4 people.
The tents are completely snow and rain proof and also have ventilation windows for summer months with bug guard.
