Oceanography Explorer Day Camp - Youngsters entering grades 6-8 can participate in a unique and fun opportunity to learn oceanography during the summer. URI Outreach Scientists will introduce children to the basics of oceanography and take them into the field each day to learn firsthand about our coastal environment. Camps meet at URI's Narragansett Bay Campus and each fun-filled day includes a field trip to a coastal area in southern Rhode Island. Children will examine marine life from microscopic to macroscopic and experience a trip aboard a coastal research vessel. See the Calendar of Events for dates and registration information. | ||
