A week long day camp of hands-on, minds-on marine science. Get immersed in all the elements of marine science - biology, chemistry, geology and physics. Cruise the waters of Long Island Sound and do oceanographic research. Study tidal marshes, rocky intertidal zones, sandy beaches and near-shore marine life. Take the data and samples you collect and make scientific discoveries in our modern research labs.

Participants in Ocean Explorer Academy must have COMPLETED either 4th, 5th or 6th grade. Each session typically has 18 students in attendance. On Fridays, the last day of the camp, families are invited to come out on the Enviro-lab for an afternoon and share the learning that has taken place during the week at camp.
