Our 2013 Summer Science SeaCamps for grades 5 – 9 offer boat-based education, field studies, science + art activities, creative problem solving…science as never experienced before! Session I - "My Eyes are on You!" - Pollution in a Working Waterfront - Grades 5, 6 - July 15-18 - 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM The Seaport's Summer SeaCamp "My Eyes are on You!" combines science with art allowing campers going into 5th or 6th grade to experience interdisciplinary activities that embrace creative thinking, GIS mapping, field investigations, photography and creative art projects. Campers will explore environmental issues associated with Tacoma’s working waterfront in ways they've never experienced before. Still available - two fully funded scholarships. Application due date extended until July 5, 2013. Session II - "Watershed Mysteries from the Rivers to the Sea!" - Grades 7, 8, or 9 - August 5-9 - 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Campers will be challenged to solve a "mystery" each day as they explore local watersheds to understand how their actions affect the environment and how to make positive changes to help preserve our region’s marine ecology. Two days will be spent on a boat.This summer's program will give campers a chance to investigate local marine life up close and personal. Campers will observe live "critters" found in the Seaport's instructional touch tanks, then build working models to illustrate the functionality of unique features in select creatures. From there we will take trips to the beach, on a boat and to a creek to round out the learning experience.
