July: Summer Camps 2007!

Summer camp participants holding a blue crabIn June and July, kids of Grades 1 through 9 can enjoy a week of learning and discovery at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. As environmental detectives, kids hike and canoe along the shores of the Rhode River, collect and investigate plankton, go fishing, catch and study blue crabs, and learn what's inside an oyster bar community. With the many hands-on science activities, crafts and games, this is a unique opportunity to explore local ecosystems.
WARNING: You may get muddy!
