Camp: Aquatic Discovery Monday, August 6, 2012 through Friday, August 10, 2012 From 8:30 am to 2:30 pm

Aug 6 - 10, 2012. Aquatic Discovery. From historic shipwrecks to underwater robotics, this camp will usher children into a world of underwater archeology and discovery. Campers will gain exclusive access to the murky depths of Lake Champlain pulling catch aboard UVM’s Melosira Research Vessel and peering into the past at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. Serving as a capstone to this incredible journey, the group will build and launch their own ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle)! Who knows what adventures lies just below the surface? 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. For students entering Grades 4 - 5; Limit: 16; Member: $265 Non-member: $295.

Our "Get Closer to the Lake" Camps are ECHO's signature set of camps designed to grow with your child's passions and interests year after year. Our youngest campers develop their sense of wonder in our half-day "Science & Stories" Camp. Those entering 1st grade go behind-the-scenes of a working Lake Aquarium and Science Center during our full day "ECHO Adventurers" Camp. Campers at the 2nd and 3rd grade level adopt and gain in-depth knowledge about ECHO's aquatic animals during our "Animal Ambassador". 4th and 5th graders head out on UVM's Melosira research vessel and build their own ROV during our "Aquatic Discovery Camp". Finally during "Explore the Shore Camp", 5th-8th graders partner with their instructors to conduct field investigators in and around the Lake.

After care is available until 5pm for $15/day or $60/wk for all "Get Closer to the Lake" Camps except "Science & Stories."
