Marine Biology Day Camp
Campers engage in exciting classes, labs and field programs. A few of the many captivating activities include: sieving through goopy sediments looking for brittle stars, pulling a seine net through eelgrass beds to learn where young fish hide and using microscopes to observe the "stuff" that supports all like in the sea. These activities give campers the opportunity to learn about individual groups of marine plants and animals, while taking an ecosystem approach to marine study.

Coastal Explorers
Campers will use the varied natural environments from beach and glacial bluff to forest, pond and meadow. They'll assemble skeletons of marine mammals, catch and learn about bugs, find out about earthquakes detected on a seismograph, investigate the life in a pond, and make connections between fossil animals and their descendants alive today. With hikes, crafts, games and quiet times in a beautiful setting, this camp offers fun, hands-on experiential learning. Camp Dates
