This summer program is available to all students currently in grades five through seven and has been sponsored by the school district since 1982.  Hurry do not miss out, only two eight-day sessions are held at Gamble Rogers Middle School with bus transportation provided.  The dates for the sessions this summer will be June 14^th through June 24^th and June 28^th through July 8^th (Monday-Thursday).  Small classes of 12-15 students are separated by grade level.  All instructors in the program are St. Johns County School District teachers.

The Marine Science Program is a carefully designed experience for responsible students who are interested in learning about our local marine environments.  Learning is “hands on” in the field with students kayaking, canoeing, boating, hiking, snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, surfing, SUP, (stand up paddle boarding), etc.

More information about the program can be had by emailing Kristina Bransford at [email protected] .
