We are excited to announce the 2010 aquatic and marine science program for high school students in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. 

The six session course will take place at the World Aquarium, one Saturday each month, starting January with 2 sessions in May.  In July 2010, the successful students will be able to travel to a marine biology field station in Florida to apply firsthand what they learned in our laboratories and also test new theories and meet with other marine and aquatic sciences professionals.

All expenses will be paid for each student's tuition, food and travel expenses.  Applications must be postmarked no later than December 18, 2009 and selected students will be notified by January 5, 2010.

To help inspire future generations, this special program was designed for students to experience a day in the life of aquarium staff. Sea Campers are given a tour of the World Aquarium and spend the day assisting aquarium staff with regular duties. In addition, students will have lunch with staff members and meet the Aquarium President.

This program provides in depth exposure for children who are interested in a career with animals. We recommend this program for children age 8 years and older.
