From the Forest to the Sea...It's all Connected. Come learn about the ecosystems of the Prince William Sound and Copper River Delta region of south central Alaska. Everywhere you look is something new to explore, making this region an outstanding environmental education classroom. From the Forest to the Sea Summer Education Programs are run in partnership by the Prince William Sound Science Center, Alaska River Expeditions and the U. S. Forest Service/Cordova Ranger District. From the Forest to the Sea Summer Day and Overnight Science Camps: During Science Camps we explore the rich ecosystems of the Copper River Delta and the Prince William Sound by foot, canoe, kayak and raft. You will observe glaciers up close, and you may even spend an afternoon hiking on a glacier! Each day will be filled with outdoor activities and hands-on exploration of the wild inhabitants of this region, including bears, salmon, birds, beavers, moose and more! Nights will be spent at our field camp on the beautiful Copper River Delta and will be filled with evening "camp" activities, delicious meals, crafts and games. Programs are led by our knowledgeable and caring staff, and we often invite local scientists to share their expertise with us. Science Camps are adventurous and fun, and by the end of the week you'll be able to see for yourself that from the forest to the sea...it's all connected. We hope to see you in Summer 2008! Oceanography of the Prince William Sound is an intensive, ten-day academic course for high school students that will be based out of Cordova, Alaska and includes travel to and from Whittier on the Alaska State Marine Highway.
