We are so grateful for the generous support of our community, both in financial gifts and through the gift of time through volunteering. None of what we do would be possible without your continued support of BPAA. We hope to offer so many more opportunities for discovery in the new year!
Are you interested in learning about how you can volunteer at Battle Point Observatory in 2026? Come drop by on Saturday January 24, 4:00 – 5:00 pm! We’ll be open for you to take a tour and chat about opportunities in the Planetarium, Education, Programs, and Facilities. Learn how easy it is to sign up in our Volgistics system. Tell us about what interests you have and how you would like to contribute your time and talents.
The Battle Point Observatory has been invited by the Jett Foundation to attend a stargazing event for their Camp Promise summer camp this June.
If you’ve visited the Battle Point Sundial recently, you’ll have noticed that the number decal marking the hours is missing. The numbers had faded almost to invisibility after 10 years (has it really been that long?) in the sun. Additionally, kids have scratched their names, initials, and worse into the painted surface with whatever hard implements they can find. We’ve removed the decal in preparation for repainting in the spring, when the weather improves. After painting, a new decal will be applied. If you’d like to help with this project, click this link to volunteer.
Battle Point Observatory is looking for additional Fall & Winter volunteer assistants (age 16+) for our youth Science Education classes!
