Eco-Investigator Application

Ecology Summer Camp 2012
“Limno-Explorers – Discovering the World of Water”

This year we are offering an additional opportunity for older students. This special two week session will focus on the experimental process and give older, motivated students the chance to do their own ecological research project. During this session campers will gain knowledge of natural history, apply the scientific process and practice how to effectively communicate what they have learned to others.

Cary Ecology Camp Alumni are encouraged to apply! Space is limited and a complete application must be submitted by May 1. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by May 11. Cost of the two week, nine day session (there is no camp on July 4th) is $450. Payment is due upon confirmation of acceptance into the program.
