2026 Annual Campaign

Empower Lifelong Learning with a Year-End Donation

As we embark on the second 50 years of our “Reach for the Stars” public education mission, Kopernik gratefully acknowledges the thousands of members, volunteers, and program participants who have invested their time, talent, and treasure to date. 2026 was a record-breaking year for KOSC—some accomplishments we’re particularly proud of include:

  • Significantly increasing our school programming over previous years
  • Welcoming a record number of students to our summer camps
  • Growing our YouTube Channell to over 14,000 subscribers

KOSC is a unique, growing, not-for-profit organization that generates impressive returns on your investments by way of our lasting educational impacts with awe and wonder dividends! Your support to our 2026 annual campaign ensures more than just our day-to-day operations. You also position us to grow in the coming years. Though we’re not ready to share details just yet, we have plans to meet the next 50 years with an expanded and refreshed campus. We look forward to sharing more details in 2027.
