设施

The 罗德岛州 coast is an outstanding location for marine science 教育. Within a short boat ride or drive are perhaps the best examples of rocky intertidal, 潮池, 美国东海岸的盐池和屏障海滩栖息地.

The Summer 海洋生物学 Field Studies Program uses the state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities of the Marine and Natural Sciences Building. 学生们将在3000平方英尺的现代化实验室里进行实验研究. ft. 有流动海水的潮湿实验室. 延伸200英尺的学习平台. 到太. 希望湾支持许多其他项目活动. 科考船可作实地考察和抽样.

Summer Field Program students reside, double occupancy, in a contemporary, waterside residence hall. 饭菜在我们现代化的校园餐饮中心供应. 娱乐设施可供业余休闲.

教职员工

RWU教职员工的个人关注是我们项目的一个标志. Enrollment is limited to 18 per session, ensuring each student is fully challenged.

Outstanding current Roger Williams University marine biology students serve as Resident 工作人员. 学生每天24小时受到监督.

常见问题

i. 谁应该申请海洋生物营?
这个夏令营非常适合喜欢科学的好奇学生, 有兴趣在大学学习海洋科学的同学, 还有喜欢在水里和水上探索的学生. 海洋生物学 camp at RWU is an engaging experience designed to expose high school students to the bounty and variety of marine life in and around RI, by learning standard sampling and observation methods in oceanography and marine biology. Students will participate in field and laboratory activities that are similar in scope to learning activities of first year college students majoring in 海洋生物学 at RWU. 在大多数日子里, there are field and/or laboratory activities in the morning and afternoon (with breaks for 餐), 之后是RWU海洋专家的客座讲座.

ii. 谁不应该申请海洋生物夏令营?
This camp is not a good fit for students that are uneasy around the water or that do not have a genuine interest in science, 或者更具体地说，是海洋生物学.

Please笔记露营者有时报告说，“我的父母让我这样做.对那些学生来说, 海洋生物学 camp rarely resonates in the ways that parents might be hoping. Please consider the interest of your child before signing them up for this camp; if they are not interested, 请不要占用其他真正感兴趣的露营者的空间, and for creating an avoidably challenging situation that impacts the experience of other campers.

If你有问题或者你的孩子不确定, 请和Brian Wysor谈谈, 生物学系主任兼系主任, 海洋生物学 & 环境科学@ RWU (bwysor@dh865.com; 401-254-3014) because this camp is a great way to evaluate interests in the field of marine biology, and of course we hope it inspires students to pursue their passions and curiosities.

3. 你能帮我的露营者从机场到RWU吗?
No. RWU does not provide support for travel to/from the airport and cannot house students outside of the specific dates of the camp for which they are registered. 注意，大多数家长/监护人会自己把露营车送过来.

iv. 国际学生有资格参加吗?
RWU并不局限于美国公民, but we recognize that the coordination of travel for international participants is more complicated than that of participants arriving by car. RWU does not provide support for travel to/from the airport and cannot house students outside of the specific dates of the camp for which they are registered. With the understanding that the RWU 海洋生物学 program supports campers only for the duration of the camp and not at any time leading up to the start or any time after the official end of the camp, 欢迎你的申请.

v. 如果露营者的COVID检测呈阳性会发生什么?
We are realistic about the possibility that COVID could impact camp experiences and while we are confident that we can offer a safe and fulfilling experience, we will be transparent about changes that are driven by COVID or other health and safety concerns. RWU COVID政策
