Summer Camp: Environmental Institute
For children entering grades 6-9. 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. The Environmental Institute is designed for young people who have a strong curiosity about the natural environment and want to learn more through hands-on experience. The Calvert Marine Museum, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL), and Cove Point Natural Heritage Trust are combining forces to offer this exceptional opportunity. Participants will talk with CBL scientists who have collected base data on the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay for over 30 years. They will review the trends, and then do water sampling and analysis to see how their results match up. Using the recent experience of Tropical Storm Lee as a case study, they will work in teams to do research and fieldwork to learn about the causes and consequences of the dramatic changes that resulted in the Chesapeake Bay. They will map the shoreline from the William B. Tennison and visit a shoreline restoration project at Cove Point and a living shoreline. The institute will conclude with team presentations for friends, parents, and colleagues about their findings. FEE: $60. The Environmental Institute is based on a competitive application process limited to 12 participants. The tuition is subsidized by a grant from the Cove Point Natural Heritage Trust. For information and a copy of the application, visit the "Summer Camp" page on our website. Location: Calvert Marine Museum/ Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. |
