Explore Greek & Roman legends and mythology hidden in the sky as you take a trip through the cosmos during the ultimate planetarium adventure.

Needed: Leads/Co-Leads for Children, Teen, & Adult Groups

A group facilitator is a person who can meet our grieving children, teens, and adults where they are and provide support to them as they work through their grief.

Facilitators listen, encourage, and engage children and teens in their peer support groups. Compassion, understanding, and a willingness to support others are necessities in this role. We provide the training; you provide the love.

Before becoming a group facilitator, volunteers must participate in a comprehensive facilitator training session, offered twice a year.

We are also looking for volunteers to assist with outreach, administrative tasks, activity prep, and dinner helper. If you are interested, please apply!

The Chamber along with multiple partner agencies will be presenting information on protecting our beaches and marine habitat in conjunction with World Ocean Day.

Grab your drink and join us for a trip back into the Viking Age, where the gods were fearsome, the stories were funny, and the mead was strong. You'll learn how the nine realms of Norse Mythology were created, and the ways that Loki caused trouble for Odin, Freya, Thor and the other gods of Asgard. We'll take a tour of the planets that these gods were associated with, and explain why each planet is connected to a different day of the week. The show will end with a dazzling display of Norse Constellations, and an explanation as to why bad poetry exists. Enjoy beer, wine, appetizers, and plenty of space (both socially distant and universe wise). That's right, you get to eat, drink, and relax while enjoying legends and trivia under the stars…so we hope you like Norsing around because planetarium shows about mythology are Loki the best. Check in a little early for each show to play with some of our out-of-this-world space activity stations from the NISE Network. Space is limited to 15 guests in the planetarium at a time, and masks must be worn when not eating and drinking. Shows run from 6:00-7:00 p.m. and 7:30-8:30 p.m. The planetarium will be sanitized between shows for guest safety as well. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. for the 6:00 p.m. show and 7:15 p.m. for the 7:30 show. Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show.
