OceansWide 2010 Programs

About the 2010 Programs

OceansWide programs have been created to give the students and teachers of Maine a first hand look into the wonders of the largest habitat on Earth - the ocean just a stone's throw from their front door.

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.

OceansWide Presentations

Buzz Scott our founder and adventurer would be happy to visit your school or community program to share stories about the expedition's travels and programs he has and is currently involved in.

The Support a Camper Campaign

Your donation will enhance OceansWide’s ability to provide camp scholarship funds. This enables more families to afford this "quality and unique" ocean exploration camp. Please consider making a contribution!

Teacher Workshop – Adventures in Education Through Ocean Exploration.

OceansWide in partnership with the Maine Coastal Program will be providing experiential teacher training workshops using remotely operated vehicles and other educational tools for better understanding our watersheds and their importance for marine ecosystems and their sustainability in the future. They will be implementing a number of hands on activities that will engage their students in becoming ocean literate through watershed explorations.
