August 7th-9th Meteor Shower Weekend Getaway
Grab your friends and escape the city for a weekend under one of Ontario's darkest skies, just in time for the Perseids Meteor Shower. This is not your average camping trip. We're talking safari tents, stargazing, and a front-row seat to the universe.
What's the Perseids?
Every August, Earth passes through the dusty trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle, creating one of the most dazzling meteor showers of the year. At its peak, you can see up to 100 meteors an hour, streaking across the sky like cosmic fireworks.
Where You're Going
You'll be staying at Four Corners Algonquin, a certified dark sky site and home to a real observatory. Nestled just outside Algonquin Park, this site is purpose-built for awe.
Your Weekend Includes
- Round-trip coach bus from downtown Toronto
- 2-night stay in a fully-equipped safari tent—think glamping, not roughing it
- Stargazing program with astrophysicist Caroline El Khoury from Night Sky Adventures
- Cozy fire pits, Muskoka chairs, solar lighting, and a BBQ at every site
- Firewood delivered to your site—yes, really
