The CSI: Coastal Sciences Investigation Camp will be held at the J.L. Scott Marine Education Center, located at The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs. "The new Coastal Sciences Investigation (CSI) camp is an excellent opportunity for high school students to get hands-on career orientation and interaction with scientists in various marine-related disciplines," said Michael Carley, coordinator of summer camps. "This camp promises to be an immersive experience. Participants will work in small groups with GCRL scientists both in the field and in the laboratory." CSI camp will be offered June 2-6 and July 28-Aug. 1. Cost per week is $490 and include official CSI: Coastal Sciences Investigation field wear T-shirt and cap, all instructional costs and materials, admission fees and field trips. The five-day sessions run from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. "The CSI Camp is important because it provides an engaging atmosphere for students interested in marine sciences to receive information that can steer them toward a fulfilling and meaningful career," said Carley.
