SSU Coast Camp
Coast Camp is a month of ocean science fun for students. Sponsored by the NOAA Living Marine Resource Cooperative Science Center and Savannah State University, Coast Camp is a half-day ocean science program that teaches students about the ocean in an interactive, hands-on curriculum. This academic camp utilizes science, math and writing skills in conjunction with the Ocean Literacy Principles. The program fee are $150 for the 4 week camp.
Part of the mission of the SSU Coast Camp program is to provide real science experiences for the young people who participate in our program. The camp is designed to provide time in the classroom with hands-on instruction as well as outdoor field work in the marine sciences.
The Coast Camp program works with SSU faculty, students and staff to provide a meaningful science experience campers can use at school and in their future as a scientist.
