University of North Carolina Wilmington MarineQuest is offering a free four-day marine biology camp from July 27–30, 2026, for current 5th, 6th, and 7th graders at NMS, TCS, and WTS. During the day camp, students will travel to UNCW to explore the ecology of coastal habitats, kayak on the Cape Fear River, study wave dynamics through boogie boarding, build a remotely operated vehicle, investigate the effects of climate change on the ocean, and tour the UNCW campus. The program also introduces students to marine chemistry, geology, physics, and sustainable fisheries through hands-on activities and guidance from UNCW research scientists. Transportation to and from the camp, as well as meals, will be provided for all participants. Students will be selected based on grades and teacher recommendations, and applications are due by June 6th.
