CAMP FACILITIES: There is a main house, where some campers stay, where meals are served, and where on-site activities are centered. Campers not staying in the main house stay in outlying cottages.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: At Land and Sea Camp the focus will be on volcanoes (geology) and the ocean (oceanography). You will visit Kilauea, the world's most active (and easily studied) volcano. You will see footprints in hardened ash that are over 200 years old. You will see one of the world's greatest mineral collections and visit beaches made entirely of minerals. You will learn not just about the events that take place in the natural world but experience first-hand how they affect plants, animals, and humans.
Air and Space Camp will give you the chance to learn about Earth's atmosphere, about climate, and about space. You will visit observatories and the centers where astronomers work. You will learn how scientists study concentrations of substances in our atmosphere. You will see alternate energy development in action and gain a better understanding of climate change and be better prepared to participate in the solutions to the challenges you will face. The Big Island of Hawaii is the ideal location for experiencing the air and space sciences. Join us!
