Held at NOAA’s Seattle Sand Point facility each July, NOAA Science Camp offers hands-on science-learning opportunities for middle and high school students.
Middle School Science Camp
Students entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade engage in fun, hands-on activities that explore the mysteries of our oceans and atmosphere.
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Mini-Session– This program will not operate in 2024
Learn to build a mini-ROV with experts in this two-day mini-session.
High School Junior Leadership Program – This program will not operate in 2024
During this two-week program, students entering 9th through 12th grades work alongside NOAA scientists and camp staff to build skills in communicating science concepts, leading activities, and more.
Virtual Programing–Summer 2021
In 2021, we brought a Summer of Virtual Fun activities! All webinars and activities are archived and available for viewing at the links below.
Oceans of Change
What is global climate change and how do scientists study it? How are changes in the atmosphere and in the ocean affecting marine organisms? What impact does a changing climate have on communities, and how can we prepare for an increase in storms, rising sea levels, and the impacts of a warming ocean? This virtual week-long session focused on the critical work that NOAA scientists do to study the impacts of a changing climate. Check out our archived content.
Whale of a Time
How do studying the food habits or sounds of marine mammals help scientists learn more about them? How do researchers collect data in the field, or make discoveries in the lab? How does all of the work that NOAA does help to protect these important species, and more importantly, what can YOU do to help? Check out the many tools NOAA scientists use to study and learn more about marine mammals.
