Camp Sea Lab http://csl.ssmedia.com/ Camp SEA Lab is a marine science camp adventure for youth ages 8-13. Science, Education, and Adventure are the focus as SEA Campers explore the wonders of the marine world from the top of the watershed to the bottom of the deep sea. Each day, the mysteries of the oceans are revealed through hands-on activities above, beside, and below the water's surface. SEA Campers investigate the oceans using cutting edge technology and working alongside many of the most talented marine scientists and coastal managers in the world. In the process, SEA campers gain a greater appreciation for what science can teach them about our marine environment, and the importance of being good stewards for the oceans. Based on National Science Education Standards, Camp SEA Lab is a classroom without walls. Whether on a kayak, hiking Elkhorn Slough, or exploring the hidden treasures of a tide pool, SEA campers are always involved in fun activities that stimulate their minds and touch their hearts. Week-long day camp and residential camp programs are scheduled throughout the months of June, July, and August. Special workshops and Camp SEA Lab in the Schools programs will be developed and offered year-round.
