2012 Brad Sneeden Marine Science Academy applications posted

The 2012 Brad Sneeden Marine Science Academy is set for June 18-22, 2012. The Academy is for rising seventh, eighth and ninth graders. Fifty students are accepted from the Carteret County Public School System and 10 are accepted from the Craven County Public School System.

This annual event is a fast-paced, week-long day camp. Students are active every day and involved in hands-on activities such as collecting samples in marshes and sounds, conducting field research on a barrier island, learning about aquaculture and setting up experiments. Students also work with GPS systems, dissections and technology. While all these activities take place, students learn about and observe the many careers in the marine sciences.

Applications are due Friday, April 27, 2012. If you have questions, please contact Tabbie Nance at tabbie.nance@carteretk12.org or 252-728-4583, ext. 137.
