Registration for 2024 CSI Summer Camps is now open. Don’t wait to sign up as we may fill up quickly!

CSI Summer Camps are for students 10-15 years of age and will focus on a variety of STEAM-oriented topics. In 2024, we will offer camps June 10- August 9, excluding the week of July 4. Four themes will be offered during the eight-week season- Coastal Kingdoms, a marine biology and ecology camp; Legends of the Atlantic, a maritime history and shipwrecks focus camp; Shapes in Sciences, an art and science camp; and Sustainable Seas, an oceanography and coastal engineering camp.

Each session costs $375, and we will accept 16 campers each week. Each day will begin at CSI at 9 AM and will end at 3:30 PM.  

ECU’s Continuing and Professional Education will once again facilitate the registration process for CSI Summer Camps. Their online registration system- new in 2024- requires users to create an account for easy checkout. Details on how to make an account can be found HERE.
