In exchange for using park grounds, OMSI will conduct conservation activities throughout the park during the summer, Muldoon said. OMSI is a national leader in the field of youth science camps and we are delighted they chose to partner with us, Muldoon said. From what we ve seen of their staff and learned from past participants, this will be an outstanding resource for island children and children from the greater Portland area and Oregon. OMSI s San Juan programs are designed for children 10 to 18 and are open to San Juan County residents, with generous scholarships available for low-income families. OMSI Science Camps are science oriented with hands-on activities designed to be active, fun and educational.
All programs maintain a ratio of one adult for every five to six participants.
They are also trained lifeguards with Wilderness First Responder Certification.
