Geauga Skywatchers

Geauga Skywatchers is gathering of astronomy enthusiasts founded by a collaboration of organizations interested in promoting scientific thinking to the young and young-at-heart through the study and practice of astronomy.

The Foundation for Geauga Parks is pleased to be the fundraising arm for the Geauga Skywatchers Club, established in 2019 through a collaboration of organizations, to provide tools and training to aid members in the practice of astronomy.

Thanks to generous supporters to the Foundation, telescopes are now available for check-out from all Geauga County public libraries.

The club hosts monthly meetings at libraries and Geauga parks. Many local experts and their sophisticated equipment are on board to help teach the wonders of the universe while honing skills in mathematics, engineering, optics, observing, reason and critical thinking.
