Year 1 Camp – Week 2
The next 5 camp weeks will be first year campers from 5 different Boys & Girls Clubs. Here’s some camp highlights from the week. They were a great group with so much enthusiasm!
To The Coast!
Year 3 camp week concludes with a marine science adventure at the beach. Campers explore the beach, sound and ocean, learn about marine life, snorkel and ocean kayak.
Scuba Day
This was a huge day for Boys & Girls Club campers – scuba diving! Our day also included orienteering and submerging the SeaPerch ROVs that were built during camp week.
Year 3 Camp Week
ROVs have been tested, tie dye towels finished, scuba class instruction held, and wetsuits sized for our scuba day.
2013 Summer Camps have begun!
Year 3 Campers – Day 1
Today the campers started building their SeaPerch ROVs and brushed up on their paddling skills with a kayak rodeo.
How can you protect something if you don’t feel connected or understand it? Our summer campers do water testing, take the 40 Gallon Water Challenge, use microscopes and other scientific equipment: hands-on, inquiry based learning. They learn to snorkel and kayak, participate in service learning through land, river and beach clean-ups, and get outdoors!
The UpStream DownStream Connection summer camps trace the path of fresh water to the coast.
SeaPerch ROV
Our UpStream DownStream Connection summer camp counselors will begin training classes to learn about ROVs – Remotely Operated Vehicles. We’re excited to provide this SeaPerch program for our third year campers. They will build ROVs during their camp week, attach underwater cameras, and film during their scuba diving and beach trips.
