Ages 13-17
Teens who are ready to advance their knowledge of marine and environmental science are welcome aboard the first week in August. We will follow the traditional curriculum as we do in the younger 9 to 12 year-old program, however field lessons and conversations will go more in depth and allow for more hands-on participation to build advanced level skills.
Kids who are interested in receiving academic credit may pursue additional study during their week onboard. This is the NHS_field biology syllabus for the optional onboard course “Field Marine Biology of the Gulf of Maine” geared for high-school level learning.
Students may receive two undergraduate credits from Endicott College, or Newburyport High School Students may receive elective credits, for optional participation in the onboard Field Marine Biology of the Gulf of Maine course. For college credit, students must submit letters of recommendation from a teacher and guidance counselor indicating they’re capable of college-level work.
This program for kids ages 13 and older runs M-F 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week of August 2-6, 2010.
Cost: $395
Additional fee for two undergraduate credits from Endicott College.
If this week is not convenient to your summer schedule, teens are welcome to join us on any of our other week-long programs.
