INFORMATION and REGISTRATION AGREEMENT

Marco Island Academy is pleased to be working in collaboration with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society’s team to offer our Ambassadors of the Environment (“AOTE”) Summer Camp Program. Listed below are some reminders to help you prepare for the fun adventure that lies ahead. The Ambassadors of the Environment program is an outdoor educational experience for students/campers 14-18 years of age. Students learn in a variety of ways by participating in activities such as beach exploration, nature hikes and laboratory activities. Integrated into this curriculum are individual and group challenge activities that encourage students to think about their relationship to others and most importantly to the natural environment. Our program also explores the many elements of sustainable living and how this generation of young people can begin to reflect upon how they can make a difference for our planet with their actions and behaviors toward the environment. The AOTE Camp goals are to:

Provide students/campers with a series of educational processes and adventures in natural settings.

Inspire curiosity in and appreciation for the natural world through exploration. Advance understanding of connections: land to sea, humans to nature, people to people, and

present to future. Encourage critical thought and informed action toward responsible and sustainable living. Facilitate learning about the natural world while learning more about one’s self and others.

INFORMATION and REGISTRATION AGREEMENT

Marco Island Academy is pleased to be working in collaboration with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society’s team to offer our Ambassadors of the Environment (“AOTE”) Summer Camp Program. Listed below are some reminders to help you prepare for the fun adventure that lies ahead. The Ambassadors of the Environment program is an outdoor educational experience for students/campers 10-13 years of age. Students learn in a variety of ways by participating in activities such as beach exploration, nature hikes and laboratory activities. Integrated into this curriculum are individual and group challenge activities that encourage students to think about their relationship to others and most importantly to the natural environment. Our program also explores the many elements of sustainable living and how this generation of young people can begin to reflect upon how they can make a difference for our planet with their actions and behaviors toward the environment. The AOTE Camp goals are to:

Provide students/campers with a series of educational processes and adventures in natural settings.

Inspire curiosity in and appreciation for the natural world through exploration. Advance understanding of connections: land to sea, humans to nature, people to people, and

present to future. Encourage critical thought and informed action toward responsible and sustainable living. Facilitate learning about the natural world while learning more about one’s self and others.
