Looking for a fun and educational program to do with your family this summer? But don't have enough time to commit to an entire week? Come to Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve and spend a few hours with the staff of OceansWide!
OceansWide is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization started in 2008 by Campbell (Buzz) Scott in Newcastle Maine. OceansWide is focused on hands on learning tailored to the needs of the student. Our mission is to introduce those young and old to what lies beneath the ocean’s surface, inspiring them to become advocates for ocean health in these times of great stress on our worlds ecosystems, and exposing them to possible careers as ocean scientists and marine technicians. We hope to encourage the ocean and environments youngest stewards through the power and fun of hands on education. We offer programs such as marine archaeology, remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), environmental science, glacial geology and more to introduce students to all of the sciences that rely on one another. Thank you for your interest and support in OceansWide. Together, we can make a difference.
