Welcome To Marine Biology Camp 2013
For Girls and Boys Entering Grades 6-9
Session 2: July 15 - 26
In this two-week specialty, campers will explore various marine organisms, such as algae, seaweeds, cnidarians, mollusks, porifera, echinoderms, osteichthyes, chondrichthyes, and cetaceans. Campers will create and maintain a saltwater aquarium and learn about various marine environments. Each day campers will explore a different type of organism and learn how to maintain a saltwater aquarium. Hands-on dissections, off-site field trips, and guest speakers will diversify this program and inspire campers to delve into marine biology.
