Sea-to-See      Saturday-at-the-Sea     Saturday-at-the-Sea Summer Camp

The Saturday-at-the-Sea Summer Day Camp introduces rising 8^th, and 9^th grade students to experimental marine ecology. Students will explore the marine environment around the FSU Marine Laboratory, develop scientific questions that arise about it, and test them to find answers. To be eligible, students must be a Florida resident, be able to swim, and able to meet at FSU each morning to catch the camps bus to the coast. Each session will include 12 students and two teacher participants.
