3 day Marine Ecology Course for high schoolers


3-day Marine Ecology Summer Course for high school students being offer this summer. In a nutshell, two University of Florida students applied for a Disney grant to offer a FREE outdoor / marine conservation-based program for high school students on St. Croix. They were awarded the grant, and they hired me to help.
We are still working out the details of the schedule - there will definitely be at least one field trip per day, definitely some snorkeling and a sea turtle hatchling watch.

The 3-day course is absolutely free (there are funds to pay for a taxi for students to get to the camp site and back home AND lunch). This experience will look good on applications for college and gives participants community service hours. For any water activities, a lifeguard will be present.
There are still have a few spaces left - perhaps you know students that would be interested?
If someone needs time to get the paperwork filled out or to get out to Gallow's Bay to drop off the documents, I can add student names to the roster to hold spots.
Feel free to call or e-mail Lynnea at SEA if you have questions.
