Marine Pursuits

With activity names like “Build o’boat” and “Fish eggs/fish guts” you know this is not going to be your average summer camp.

This past summer, MI successfully launched its new summer program for teens, Marine Pursuits, with students from as far away as Change Islands, Davis Inlet and New Brunswick making the trip to St. John’s.

The camp is a unique opportunity for students from grades 9 -11, and from all across Newfoundland and Labrador, to learn about career options available to them in the marine industries. It’s also a great chance to explore new opportunities, make new friends and have fun learning.

This summer there were four weeklong camps, starting July 8 and ending August 16. MI instructors took time from their busy schedules to lead the groups, which immersed themselves in such pursuits as mapping a navigation course, dissecting fish and making their own caviar.

Marine Pursuits is an initiative of the Marine Institute, Memorial University and the Department of Youth Services and Post-Secondary Education funded through the Student Investment and Opportunity Corporation (SIOC). http://www.mi.mun.ca/marinepursuits/index.htm
