UNC Coastal Studies Institute
2017 Summer Camps

UNC Coastal Studies Institute (UNC CSI) will offer seven summer experiences in 2017 for students 10 – 15 years old.  These day camps combine STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) concepts with fun, hands-on activities to keep campers exploring and learning while having a great summer experience. Students will snorkel, kayak, collect species data by seining, trawling and hook-and-line fishing, study plankton in the lab, engineer ocean exploring equipment, and experience many other fun educational activities.  Camp begins at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 at UNC CSI campus, and all camps are $250 except for Science and SCUBA and include t-shirts, water bottles and snacks.  There are a variety of camps experiences that focus on everything from Art to SCUBA diving.
