Astronomy for Outdoor Professionals

Description

Give your clients a tour of the sky as well as the outdoors.
Add a whole new dimension to your leadership with our Astronomy for Outdoor Professionals course — a unique one-day training designed for outdoor leaders, educators, and experience providers who want to confidently introduce others to the wonders of the night sky.

Whether you’re guiding under the stars or planning themed night hikes, this course gives you practical, hands-on knowledge that’s engaging, accessible, and easy to share with any audience. You’ll learn how to identify constellations, use Polaris and key asterisms for basic celestial navigation, and confidently plan stargazing walks using mobile apps and star charts.

We’ll also explore how to:

• Lead sky-themed experiences with storytelling and seasonal sky highlights

• Walk a scaled model of the Solar System to explain planetary distances

• Use binoculars to spot visible objects like planets, clusters, and nebulae

• Select the best locations and conditions for night sky observation

Perfect for Mountain Leaders, Walking Group Leaders, Forest School Practitioners, Bushcraft Educators, and any curious professional who wants to blend night-time wonder with outdoor learning.

No previous astronomy experience required — just a love of learning and the outdoors.
Join us and start guiding others to look up with curiosity, confidence, and awe.
