Ocean Science Exploration Camp at the Inner Space Center (ISC)

Do you, or someone you know, have a child between the ages of 11 and 15 who has an interest in ocean science? If so, sign them up for Ocean Science Exploration Camp!

Ocean Science Exploration Camp is a week-long, hands-on, day camp located at the Inner Space Center (ISC) at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography (URI/GSO), in Narragansett, RI. The ISC is an innovative leader, advancing ocean science exploration, research, and education. Through the use of cutting edge technology, including telepresence, the ISC expands the capacity for scientists to engage in real-time oceanographic operations and inspires the next generation of ocean explorers. The ISC brings the excitement of ocean discoveries to onshore audiences worldwide.

There will be two sessions of Ocean Science Exploration Camp. During each session, participants will engage in hands-on activities, tune into live expeditions at sea, meet scientists, and learn about different career paths.

Vacation Camp (April 20-24, 2015; 9am-3pm daily) will focus on the different disciplines of oceanography. Topics will range from exploring the ocean food chain and learning about oil spills and ocean acidification to investigating wave dynamics and exploring buoyancy through mock submarine builds. Cost: $395/camper.

Summer Camp (August 10-14, 2015; 9am-3pm daily) will focus on physical oceanography and will explore basic oceanographic principles such as density, buoyancy, salinity, and temperature as well as investigate wave dynamics, ocean currents, tides, and other exciting topics. Campers will go on local field trips, and links to ocean technology will be made. Cost: $495 per/camper.
