Unfortunately, Project O was not awarded grant funding for this camp program so there will be no CT River Institute during the summer of 2011. If families are willing to pay for this program on a tuition basis, we may offer it again during the summer of 2012.
___________________________________________________________
Connecticut River Institute, (CRI), has been designed for the study of marine and aquatic ecosystems of the Connecticut River, learning both natural and cultural history of the area. This program is for 6th through 12th grade students in the CT River Valley area. CRI runs for two weeks each session, Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 4:30pm.
The Connecticut River Institute brings students together for two weeks of age appropriate, hands-on, inquiry-based activities. Student teams will board Project Oceanology's research vessel to collect, examine and record marine life as well as analyze water conditions in the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound.
Students will participate in daily workshops to enhance their communication and team-building skills. During these sessions, students examine aspects of multiculturalism and diversity and learn that tolerance, understanding and cooperation are necessary if the group is to successfully complete its task. In addition, students will visit relevant other institutions that provide a cultural/historical perspective on the Connecticut River Valley.
