Summer Camp Opportunity

NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office and Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve System are sponsoring a Summer (day) Camp - "Using Technology to Observe the Bay". The camp will run July 7-11, 2008 from 9 am to 4 pm at Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

There will be hands-on exploration of wetlands, underwater grass beds, and Bay critters.

Qualified Students must:

Have a keen interest in learning about the Chesapeake Bay
Be able to work effectively in group settings, as well as individually
Enjoy outdoor activities, and not mind getting wet and dirty
