{Acadia Institute of Oceanography} Advanced Marine Science Camp Program
The Advanced Sessions are pre-college courses offered to students age 15-19 who have completed one year of high school science, preferably biology or chemistry (though these are not required). These two-week sessions are of a more analytical nature, and students are expected to prepare laboratory reports and analysis of their field work. We offer students the chance to explore their collegiate options during the advanced sessions with college tours and meetings with the Jackson Lab and Mount Desert Island Biological Lab, both of which offer internships to high school and college age students. Several of our AIO students have participated over the years.
{Bowling Green State University} Marine Biology: Aquarium Sciences
Are you interested in how aquatic ecosystems work? Do you want to know more about aquaponics and sustainable food opportunities? Are you an aquarium enthusiast and want to have your own aquarium? Do you love coral reefs or octopus? BGSU has one of the few marine biology and aquatic science programs in the Midwest where you can explore life at sea! This camp engages students in understanding aquarium sciences by working closely with the University’s extensive collection of saltwater specimens. Students will also engage in research projects and explore extensively behind the scenes at the Aquatic Center at the Toledo Zoo.
{Bowling Green State University} Marine Biology: Life at Sea
BGSU has one of the few marine biology and aquatic science programs in the Midwest. The BGSU Marine Biology: Life at Sea Camp is for students who will be in ninth through twelfth grades in the fall of 2019. This camp engages participants in understanding marine ecology by working closely with the University’s extensive collection of saltwater specimen. Students will also engage in research projects visit Lake Erie and explore behind the scenes at the Aquatic Center at the Toledo Zoo.
{Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership} Women of Water (WOW)
This program is an integrated two-week STEM-based marine biology and sailing program for High School young women from Maine and beyond. The lucky 12 participants will spend two weeks learning about oceanography, marine biology, maritime history, sustainability, marine technology, marine debris, etc. on Hurricane Island and aboard the sailing vessel Boyd N. Sheppard. Students will start their experience on Hurricane Island, learning about each other, the scientific process, collecting data, and developing their independent research projects. They will leave Hurricane in the second week to set sail with Captain Katie and her crew on the Boyd N. Sheppard, transitioning from the Island to doing science at sea! The program will culminate in a community presentation of student findings in Rockland, open to the public, families, and staff.
{Project Oceanology} Summer Camps
Our internationally recognized 4th through 12th grade education programs feature an inquiry-oriented approach to marine sciences.
{SEA Semester} SEA Expedition
This two-week summer program for high school students, including graduating seniors, is centered on learning by doing, SEA Expedition is a multidisciplinary experience that welcomes students to participate in every aspect of a challenging offshore sailing and oceanographic expedition, and occurs entirely aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer.
{SEA Semester} SEASCape: SEA Science on the Cape
This three-week summer program at SEA offers current high school students, including graduating seniors, the opportunity to study the marine environment from a variety of perspectives: scientific, historical, literary, and nautical. Participants live and study at our campus in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
{Shoals Marine Laboratory} Introduction to the Biology of Sharks, Skates and Rays
Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays) are the subjects of numerous headlines and blockbuster movies, but what do we really know about them? Join us for your opportunity to learn to separate the myths from the reality to better understand these fascinating animals. During this course you will find opportunities to immerse yourself in the study of marine science, elasmobranch biology, and conservation, and put your scientific knowledge and experiences into action while learning to look at the world around you from new perspectives. Expect dissections and boat-based exercises! SML courses combine laboratory work and field work to expose students to real-world marine science. This course is a university level course, designed for advanced high school students. Students will earn one Cornell University credit.
{Shoals Marine Laboratory} Marine Environmental Science
This course is a university level course, designed for advanced high school students. Marine Environmental Science explores the diversity of coastal marine habitats and ecosystems and the tools scientists use to study them, with an emphasis on topics related to human impacts and environmental health. Fieldwork will include explorations of the rocky intertidal zone, excursions to neighboring islands to observe seal and seabird colonies, and offshore trips to learn oceanographic sampling techniques and observe whale foraging grounds. Dive into marine science this summer and earn Cornell college credit.
