HARBOR BRANCH NATURE CAMP • EVERYDAY ECOLOGY • MARINE ECOLOGY

MARINE ECOLOGY CAMP
Ages 13 to 14, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily

Session 1 | July 24 - July 28, 2006

Florida is well known for its white sandy beaches, world-class fishing, and superb diving. All of these activities depend on the varied marine habitats that make up Florida's coastal ecosystems. During this one-week camp session, students will journey through mangrove forests, seagrass beds, spoil islands, near shore reefs, and beach habitats. Each day will consist of classroom, lab, and field experiences designed to immerse the campers in these captivating ecosystems.

Note: This camp was developed as an opportunity for our former Everyday Ecology campers to continue participating in our summer program, but Marine Ecology is also suitable for 13- or 14-year olds without that previous experience.

The cost of this camp is $175 per session. Extended days (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) are available at a cost of $200 per session. Campers should bring a change of clothes, lunch, snacks, and a water bottle, as well as sunscreen, towels, bug spray, and close-toed water shoes or old sneakers. For more information, call the Marine Education Office at (772) 465-2400, ext. 506.
