How are the kids supervised? Are NOAA scientists involved in the camp?
• The first day they are assigned to a group of 10-15 campers with an experienced middle school Camp Educator as a group leader and with assistance from a HS or undergraduate aged Camp Assistant. There are Camp staff in attendance every day that include the Director, Coordinator, NOAA and WSGP liaisons and multiple volunteer NOAA staff. Science activities are introduced by Camp Educators and led by NOAA scientists with specialties in multiple disciplines of science. NOAA scientists and staff volunteer their time to camp annually and enjoy meeting the campers. • NOAA Science Camp Educators and Aides are dynamic individuals with experience in teaching youth in formal and informal settings. Both participate in multi-day staff trainings, where they work with NOAA scientists and Washington Sea Grant employees to ensure safe, educational and fun experiences for campers. All staff must be certified in CPR and Emergency First Aid.
