Scuba Diving
Returning Boys & Girls Club youth participated in an advanced level camp that also gave them the opportunity to try scuba diving – they loved it!
Upstream Downstream Connection Camp Updates
Week 1: Advanced Level camp included experiments and testing, digital photography, GPS & navigation, geocaching, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, seining, ferry ride from Hammocks Beach State Park to Bear Island, marshland exploration & fun in the ocean for Boys & Girls Club youth who attended last year’s camps.
Week 2: This group continued on with a FoodMASTER camp at ECU – picking fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden, preparing food in the culinary kitchen, learning about food and nutrition.
Camp Week
The first week of The Upstream Downstream Connection was an advanced level camp for returning Boys & Girls Club youth. The first 3 days were spent on water and STEM focused activities. Day 4 was for scuba diving and kayaking and the last day featured a marine science adventure at the coast. It was a great week!
Sea Turtle Release
Sea Turtle releases are amazing. I watched 14 turtles return to the ocean yesterday at Topsail Island. These sea turtles were rehabilitated at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital. Photos are coming soon – check out the facebook page.
