The camp offers direct, hands-on field experience in marine biology, led by an experienced educator and former PBS host, Gerard Loisel.
Gerard Loisel's Marine Biology Camp offers an immersive, hands-on experience for children aged 8 to 14, focusing on marine science and conservation. Campers actively engage in studying seagrass communities and exploring intertidal zones, gaining practical understanding of diverse marine ecosystems. A significant component of the camp involves learning about dangerous marine animals and participating in fish tagging for scientific research, contributing to real-world data collection. Field trips are integral to the program, with past visits including Virginia Key Beach and the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, providing direct exposure to marine environments and research facilities. The camp aims to foster a deep appreciation for marine life and scientific inquiry through direct observation and participation.
A typical day involves field trips to locations like Virginia Key Beach or the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School, where campers engage in hands-on activities such as studying seagrass, exploring intertidal zones, and learning about marine animals.
This camp is best for curious children aged 8-14 with a keen interest in marine life, environmental science, and hands-on outdoor exploration.
