Camping Under the Stars

Colorado’s night skies are among  the most breathtaking in the world, but they’re disappearing faster than most people realize. Our spring fundraising campaign, Camp Under the Stars, is our call to slow down, look up, and protect the natural darkness that makes every camping trip feel magical. When you choose to spend your nights outside and away from the glare of city lights, you’re reconnecting with something ancient, quiet, and deeply human.

This campaign invites you to be part of the movement to preserve that experience for future generations. Through community action, education, and partnerships with outdoor brands who share our values, DarkSky Colorado is working to reduce light pollution across the state. Every story shared, every campsite chosen, and every small change in lighting helps restore the brilliance of the night sky.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

Each dollar you give helps safeguard the natural darkness that makes camping in Colorado so extraordinary. Your donation supports community education, advocacy, and on‑the‑ground efforts to reduce light pollution across the state. Together, we can keep our skies wild, star‑filled, and awe‑inspiring for generations to come.

Join the movement to protect the night. Whether you give $10 or $100, your contribution directly fuels programs that preserve wildlife habitats, restore natural darkness, and ensure that every camper can still look up and see a sky full of stars.
