After a week preparing and previewing marine science exploration, campers will board a schooner and set sail as part of the crew! Under the captain and crew’s guidance, you will be at the will of the wind for a five-day, four-night excursion to explore New England’s coastal waters. As a part of the crew, campers will learn how to set sails, steer, plot the ship’s course, and even do daily chores. Campers will also learn how scientists identify fish species, sample water, study plankton, and monitor whale behavior onboard a boat. Examine food webs, life cycles, and the rich biodiversity of the Gulf of Maine, especially the unique ecosystem of Stellwagen Bank! For more details about the ship and its operator, the World Ocean School, visit worldoceanschool.org.
