Summer camp registration

UGA’s McPhaul CFD Center will offer summer camp again this year, with available space increased to accommodate 40 children. Camp includes weekly field trips, swimming at Legion Pool, learning activities and lots of fun. The camper-to-staff ratio is seven to one.

Camp will run from June 1 to July 22, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. daily. The cost is $115 per week, which includes all food and field trip costs. Children are eligible if they will be entering kindergarten, first or second grade in the fall of 2005.

Registration opens March 24 for all UGA employees and the community. Registration will be accepted at the McPhaul Center on a first come, first served basis with a deposit of $115 (which will be applied to the last week of camp).

Summer marine science camps

UGA’s Marine Extension Service offers “hands-on, feet-in” summer marine science camps for students aged 4–15 during June and July. The camps have offered a range of age- and academically-appropriate marine science and coastal ecology activities since 1992. All camps take place at the Marine Education Center and Aquarium on Skidaway Island, near Savannah. Although all camp sessions are day programs, affordable lodging and camping is available nearby.

Nine separate sessions include:
Fish Fry (ages 4–5) July 19–21
Sea Squirts (ages 6–7) July 11–15
Sea Camp (ages 8–10) June 6–11, June 13–17, June 27–July 1
Estuary Explorers (ages 11–12) June 20–24, July 25–29
Island Scientists (ages 13–15) July 18–22

The enrollment lottery for 2005 camps will take place April 1. The registration form and more information are available at www.uga.edu/aquarium. Contact Anne Lindsay Frick (lindsaya@uga.edu or 912-598-2355) with questions.
