Take a "sky tour" in some of the darkest skies in southern Manitoba during the week of the Perseid meteor shower (see video below).  With an astrophysicist and telescope on hand you will learn to navigate the stars, be amazed at the majesty of the Milky Way, and possibly enjoy some Northern Lights.  Try to see the rings of Saturn, the space station and Mercury, or just kick back and soak it all in. Whether you stay up all night or head to bed early, you can spend your days paddling, hiking, fishing, swimming, or relaxing.
