Summer is the time to explore and enjoy the outdoors!
Marine Science Camp for K-8th grades includes interactions with live marine animals and themed science activities. Lead by our experienced science instructors, camp participants discover local habitats and animals at our Redwood City site and while aboard our 90-foot research vessel, the Robert G. Brownlee. Make science come alive this summer!
