About
Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory Camps and Educational Programs include time at a nature center with birds of prey, bees, and other native wildlife. Participants can also spend time in a botanic garden, explore nature trails, and visit an observatory that offers solar viewing and nighttime programs listed on a calendar. The facility includes 8 acres of natural habitat surrounding the center and Lake Aspen, and it features what is described as the nation’s largest publicly accessible observatory.
