OceansWide 2010 Summer Camps
This year we have expanded our camps to five days. There will be classroom lessons, outings on the waters of the Gulf of Maine and lab sessions at the Darling Marine Center with ship and ROV excursions just off the dock. Camps will offer students a chance to learn all about remotely operated vehicles.
Also new this year is our overnight camp the first week of August. We will be exploring how sea creatures light up their world (bioluminescence), how some of them prefer to eat at night and we will be enjoying a camp fire night complete with s'mores and stories.
