SHIPWRECK CAMP 2008
July 28 - August 8, 2008
For Youth Ages 12-15
Looking for a unique day camp experience this summer?
Join us for a virtual adventure to find a shipwreck in
Lake Erie! Inspired by the research and exploration of
Dr. Robert Ballard, father of the JASON Project, the
Immersion Presents Program, and
finder of the wreckage of the Titanic, this camp will
engage campers in field science and exploration weekdays
from 9:30a.m. – 3:00p.m. (time may vary, depending
on event planned) starting Monday, July 28, 2008.
In collaboration with Cleveland Lakefront State Park (ODNR),
the Cuyahoga County Public Library, and Case’s Center
for Science and Mathematics Education, campers will:
*read novels related to exploration
*conduct the research necessary to find a wreck in Lake
Erie
*using the tools of a scientist, conduct field research
*embrace the history of the Great Lakes region
*immerse themselves in an introduction to SCUBA and
snorkeling
*build and operate an ROV
*discover what weather contributes to shipwrecks in the
Great Lakes
*develop a plan and find a wreck
*share your discoveries
*celebrate Year of the Frog, too!
Campers will have their experiences at Case Western
Reserve University and other sites throughout the camp
(e.g. Cleveland Lakefront State Park, Cuyahoga
County Library, etc.) Each camper must be at least 12
years old , or, not older than 15 by the start of camp
on July 28, 2008.
