WELCOME TO SSSP 2025!

We are busy planning the 28th SSSP, SSSP 2025. Watch this page for important updates.

Important Dates


Camping Update

Camping bookings on April 12 went very well, but now it looks like our camp sites are quite full. There are still a lot of good campsites available in the Meadows and the Dark-sky campgrounds. SSSP also has special permission from the Park to double up campsites and to overflow camp on the grass, pending certain restrictions. See the Camping page webpage for more information, or contact the Registrar at sssp.sk@sasktel.net for details.

NOTE THAT WE HAVE SOME INDICATION that some emails bounced from sssp.sk during the first few seconds after 8:00 am due to overloading of the server. IF YOU DID NOT GET A CONFIRMATION FOR YOUR CAMPSITE REQUEST from Rick Huziak on April 12, then your email may have bounced. If you think this might be the situation, contact Rick.


The Resort at Cypress Hills

If you are staying at the Resort, you can book your rooms anytime. Make sure you tell them you are with the “Sask. Star Party 2025” to get a room within our booking block. The block release date is June 16, so book early. We will provide further updates on our Resort page.


Featured Speakers

We are pleased to announce our confirmed speakers for this year:


Comet Petriew Cairn Restoration Project

We are also raising cash for the restoration of the Comet Petriew discovery cairn at the Meadows entrance. Donations to that project are done through the Regina Centre of the RASC and tax receipts are available. See our webpage for details.
