Abstract

I worked with the Reserve Education Coordinator Jaime Belanger and other interns to facilitate science summer camps. The camps ranged in ages from 4/5-year-olds to high schoolers. The summer camps were four days long and consisted of many science and marine-based activities. We always took the kids to the Charleston Marine Life Center where we would learn about and be able to touch the local marine life and we always ended the week with an ice cream social where the kids could make ice cream sundaes and family could enjoy looking at pictures from throughout the week. Some of the many other fun activities we did with the kids included: going on many hikes, playing games, doing crafts, going tide pooling, going to the beach, going to the Coos Art Museum, going to the plastics art exhibit, banding baby purple martins, hearing from the Elakha alliance about sea otters, and even planting baby eelgrass seedlings in the ocean. Working with camp was always a big team effort to ensure all the kids were safe, well-cared for, and having fun.
