Ocean Watch 4-H Marine Ambassadors Camp

Camp Dates: June 30 through July 5, 2013

The camp application deadline has passed for 2013.

Please join us for our 4-H Marine Adventures Open House at the Embarcadero Resort Dock on July 4, 2013, from 9:30 AM- 2:30PM. You may also be able to follow Ocean Watch’s voyages at the KGWTV weather cam link for Newport.

The six day Ocean Watch 4-H Marine Ambassadors Camp will take place on the Oregon State University (OSU) campus for two nights and in Newport at the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) for three nights. Transportation is provided between OSU and Hatfield. On the OSU campus youth will learn to be 4-H Marine Ambassadors, tour labs, participate in science classes and work with a team to construct Remote Operated Vehicles. In Newport campers will be introduced to the 64-foot sailing research vessel Ocean Watch. You can see more information about Ocean Watch’s 25,000-mile Around the Americas research voyage at this link http://oceantoday.noaa.gov/aroundtheamericas/ .

We will sail on Ocean Watch to access marine animal and plant survey sites, and collect water samples. She will also be the center piece of our public information day on the 4^th of July, where Ocean Watch 4-H Marine Ambassadors will practice their newly acquired skills to teach the public about our oceans. The 4-H Marine Ambassador’s Mission is to raise awareness about the health of the ocean and to show how changes are impacting various ecosystems and human life. Check out the tentative camp schedule.
