Young Women in Science is a bi-lingual, week-long summer day-camp just for girls. Participants have the opportunity to be involved in science, the ocean, and conservation. During camp, they will explore ocean habitats as marine biologist by participating in activities such as surface scuba diving and kayaking through the Elkhorn Slough.
