The Marine Science Summer Camp Programs for 2023:

The Marine Summer Science programs are for children interested in learning about the marine environment and the organisms who reside there. Hands-on experiments and activities will be done each day in combination with some guest speakers and arts and crafts activities.  Lessons will be designed to encourage students to think critically about our environments and how we interact with them.
