Tuesday, April 15th - Be an Aquarist for the day!
Experience what it’s like to be an aquarist! Campers will learn how to set up a saltwater aquarium, monitor water quality, and maintain a healthy tank environment for marine life. They’ll explore a local beach and rocky intertidal zone collecting natural materials to create the ideal environment for their fish. Inside of our newly renovated seawater lab, students will work through a scavenger hunt to discover the diverse creatures that call Long Island Sound home. As a bonus, they’ll have the unique opportunity to help feed our marine animals!
Wednesday, April 16th - Be an Ocean Engineer for the day!
Get ready for a day of hands-on engineering challenges! Campers will tackle a series of problems, building models that they can test, adjust, and redesign. Can your egg survive a 10-foot drop? Will your design keep an ice cube frozen? Plus, put your skills to the test as you take control of our remote-operated vehicle (ROV) and navigate it through the holding tank. It’s a day full of creativity, problem-solving, and fun.
Thursday, April 17th - Be a Marine Biologist for the day!
Discover the fascinating animals of Long Island Sound! Students will have the opportunity to interact with a variety of marine creatures and learn how each species adapts to thrive in its unique habitat. Then, climb aboard our research vessel for an exciting hands-on experience as we collect data on the local harbor seal population. Learn about the incredible strategies seals use to stay warm and survive the chilly winter waters of Connecticut.
