Join Us for Mt.
Oaks 14th Annual Point Reyes Science Camp Adventure!
Mt.
Oaks Annual Point Reyes Science Camp will be Tuesday through Friday,
September 2nd to 5th, 2008. We stay at a beautiful center in the heart
of the Point Reyes National Seashore, the Clem Miller Educational
Center. The Center has a main lodge/dining room/kitchen/library facility
and five rustic cabins that will sleep up to 80 people.
Tidepooling, bird banding, boating, night hikes, campfires, pond
explorations, tule elk, marine laboratory studies, bat workshops, oyster
farms, and beach play are some of the activities we’ve offered over the
years. Families arrive between 11:00 AM and 12:00 noon on Tuesday for
camp orientation, and are expected to stay until about 12:00 noon on
Friday, or until camp inspection is over.
The cost is
$40.00
for students (K-12), $120.00 for adults. A limited number of
scholarships are available.
The camp is full, but names are being accepted on a waiting list. Call
Jacqueline at 754-0532, ext. 227, to sign up.
Mandatory
meetings for all attending this Science Camp will be held in San Andreas
on Wednesday, August 27th, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, and in Ione on Thursday,
August 28th, at 3:30 PM.
Students are expected to research a topic on Point Reyes and do a three
to five minute oral presentation, with visual support (pictures,
demonstrations) at our August meeting. Packets of information about
Point Reyes will be mailed to those who have signed up on August 1st.
Students may use information from the packets or do their own research
for their presentations.
