SHIPWRECK CAMP 2009
Science and Exploration For Youth Ages 12-15
Weekdays, July 20 through July 31, 2009
9:30a.m. – 3:30p.m.
Join us for a virtual adventure to find a shipwreck in
Lake Erie! Inspired by the research and exploration of
Dr. Robert Ballard, father of the JASON Project, the
Immersion Presents Program, and finder of the wreckage
of the Titanic, this camp will engage campers in field
science and exploration weekdays from 9:30a.m. –
3:30p.m. (times may vary, depending on event planned)
starting Monday,
July 20, 2009.
In collaboration with Cleveland Lakefront State Park (ODNR),
the Cuyahoga County Public Library, and Case’s Center
for Science and Mathematics Education, campers will:
*read novels related to exploration
*meet local experts
*conduct the research necessary to find a wreck in Lake
Erie
*use the tools of a scientist, conduct field research
*embrace the history of the Great Lakes region
*immerse themselves in an introduction to SCUBA and
snorkeling
*develop navigational skills on land and water
*discover what weather contributes to shipwrecks in the
Great Lakes
*develop a plan and find a wreck
*share discoveries
*celebrate The Year of Science, too!
Campers will have their experiences at Case Western
Reserve University and other sites throughout the camp
(e.g. Cleveland Lakefront State Park, Cuyahoga County
Public Library, etc.) Each camper must be at least 12
years old, or, not older than 15 by the start of camp on
July 20, 2009.

and out of small or large boats and, at minimum, not be
afraid of water, insects, boats, the out of doors.
Swimming skills are advantageous but not required.
Familiarity with internet searches and computer skills
in Microsoft Office software packages are helpful in
compiling reports and building expedition plans.
Students will be working in teams and some activities
will be photographed or video taped.

non-refundable application fee is included in this cost.
