Eckerd College Marine Science

The Eckerd College Pre-College Marine Science camp is an affordable yet highly educational experience. Students stay on the college's campus in St Petersburg, Florida. During the day, the kid's time is packed with hands-on activities indoors and outdoors.

This includes things like identifying sharks and fish at sea, data analysis, marine life photography, studying the ecosystems, examining organisms under a microscope, and much more. The participants are guided and mentored by the college faculty and staff, which consists of professors, marine biologists, and graduate students. They also get an insight into marine chemistry and marine geology through their learning.

The camp is modeled after Eckerd College's very own marine biology program and is intended for rising high school students in 10th to 12th grade interested in the natural sciences.
