The Briarwood Marine Science Program brings life to Environmental Science through the non-invasive study of the habitats, niches, and ecosystems of Cape Cod's animals and plants. Horseshoe crabs, sea stars, eelgrass, and periwinkles will be your classmates as we take to the water in our investigation of shore ecosystems surrounding the marine center. The one-week program takes place on the shore of Little Bay in Monument Beach at a facility overlooking Toby Island and the entrance to the Cape Cod Canal. The Marine and Environmental Science Programs have been designed to integrate life science, technology and mathematics frameworks through a relevant, stimulating and FUN course of study. By making the program approachable and relevant, campers can embrace a wider scope of opportunities, broadening their selection of future careers or studies.
Students choose a partner for the week for swimming and other activities.
Students are expected to keep their belongings tidy. Except in an emergency, children will not be permitted to use the telephone. All meals are provided as part of the program. A buffet breakfast is served in the dining room, and a nutritious dinner is provided each evening. Picnic lunches are carried to on-site activities and field trips.
