Marine Science
One of our core programs all summer long is our Marine
Science Education/Snorkeling Program. The program is a special
collaboration between Outdoor Outreach,
The San Diego Ocean´s Foundation and
Sea Camp. Many of the youth we serve have never been to the
ocean, and this program gives us the opportunity to educate and
inspire the kids to become passionate stewards of the local
ocean ecosystem.
Snorkeling activities begin
with an introductory live animal laboratory session at SeaCamp
San Diego, located on Fiesta Island. The students experience a
30-minute live animal laboratory where trained biologists teach
about animal characteristics and adaptations through the use of
a variety of live and preserved specimens. Particular emphasis
is placed on invertebrates likely to be seen during the
snorkeling trip to Mission Point.
