I've always done one every geminids since 2004, no reason not to do it now! :D

Hi everyone,

We are organising a camp to enjoy Geminids (even thought not the peak but still within the period).

This period is monsoon season and many think is the worst weather to do on for a camp... However, it is also the best time to enjoy the winter constellations and the geminids.. So by faith, we decided to go on with this.
Date: 16th dec - 18th dec
Venue: Pulau Ubin

For those who love adventure and want to enjoy astronomy camp in a new way, this camp would be suitable for you! Rain or Shine, this camp will sure carry on... Please download the attachment to see more details.
