Pulsar CAMP is back in 2026!  Spend a week with your colleagues at the Green Bank Observatory, digging into pulsar science, completing team projects  getting behind the scenes tours, and enjoying community and camp life!

Dates: July 5-11, 2026

Place: Green Bank Observatory

Cost: $400.00/ participant

This fee will cover your room and board at Camp.  It does not cover travel for the most part.  If you are flying into Pittsburg, we do plan to arrange a shuttle to and from the airport. You will need to coordinate your travel plans with us.

Who Can Apply:

STARS-UP students and faculty, and full PSC Members (you have completed the course and are certified to analyze pulsar search data) who have completed analysis on 1,000 plots  in 2025-2026 by May 30, 2026 may apply. Space is limited. We will host up to 40 students (high school or undergraduate), and up to 15 teachers/faculty who are leading STARS-UP or PSC groups. We will also host a few Pulsar Camp staff.

Thanks to a few patrons of the Observatory who love education and outreach, we have funds to provide scholarships for those who are accepted but have financial need. Many thanks to the Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers for their generosity!
