During this eleven day program, you will develop an appreciation and respect for our oceans that will remain with you for a lifetime. Join teens from all over the world as we immerse ourselves in the care of sea turtles and explore the habitats that support them. In addition to all of the volunteer work, we will also research, prepare, and present a lesson to the public describing the challenges facing all sea turtles. This camp spends 15 hours working alongside the hard-working volunteers and interns of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital. Since the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network began keeping records in 1986, the number of stranded turtles has more than doubled, illustrating how much work there is to be done. When not preparing food or cleaning tanks, we will discover the wonders of our local coastal habitats from the muddy marsh bottom to the crest of breaking waves.
