Parents,Applications for the summer Marine Science Program will be passed out by science teachers at all schools during the week of February 12th. Applications will be due back to science teachers by March 5th. Applications can also be downloaded at any time from the website prior to April 13th at http://www-grms.stjohns.k12.fl.us/ and click on the Marine Science link. The link also will have a complete day by day curriculum for each grade level, parent information, and a video from last year’s program.
This summer program is available to all students currently in grades five through seven and has been sponsored by the school district since 1982. Three eight day sessions are held at Gamble Rogers Middle School with bus transportation provided. The dates for the three sessions this summer will be May 29st through June 7th, June 11th through June 21st , and June 25th through July 6th. Small classes of 12-14 students are separated by grade level. All instructors in the program are St. Johns County School District teachers.
The Marine Science Program is a carefully designed experience for responsible students who are interested in learning about our local marine environments. Learning is “hands on” in the field with students kayaking, canoeing, boating, hiking, snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, surfing, SUP, (stand up paddleboarding), etc. Specific grade level activities and curriculum are attached to the applications and are also available from the website.
More information about the program can be had by emailing Kristina Bransfordat [email protected] .

If your child will not be attending their ENRICHMENT CAMP, you should contact the Camp directly and also the front office of your child’s building. It would be a huge help if you would remind your student in the morning when they have a Camp after school. You might also want to email or send a note to their teacher so she knows where to send them. IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE
