If your teen is tired of reading, writing, and arithmetic they just might want to try their hand at one of the four fields of marine science: biology, chemistry, geology, and physics. Each day of this exciting camp your junior scientsts will explore a different field using that great big outdoor lab we call an ocean.
Activities include:
- Half-day research cruise; field trips to the beach, marsh, fouling station, UNCW Center for Marine Science, NC Aquarium and other marine facilities.
Highlights include:
- Explore marine habitats by kayak and on foot; take a behind the scenes tour of the aquarium; learn how to map the ocean floor; participate in boogie board oceanography; do transect analysis while snorkeling; operate model ROVs; study sand castle physics.
