APRIL 30, 2013 -- Registration for this summer's NOAA Science Camp at our Seattle campus is now open. Each year, this week-long, hands-on camp for 7^th and 8^th graders immerses kids in the wide range of scientific activities going on at NOAA. For example, campers get the chance to solve an environmental mystery with our toxicologists and observe the impacts of oil on (simulated) beaches and wildlife with our oceanographers and biologists. And that's only the beginning:
