Campers take a journey through the many aspects of marine science in this week-long camp. Through outdoor boat trips, collecting trips, and island fun as well as hands-on activities with animals, coastal habitats, and marine science equipment, campers experience a journey of ocean discovery. This camp is for rising 7th through 9th grade (current grades 6th-8th) students.
