For those who don't know, the NJDEP Div of Fish & Wildlife runs a research center on Sedge Island (Barnegat Bay). They have some very interesting short summer program offerings - some designed for adults/families, but also some programs specifically for junior high/high school students. (The latter programs really caught my eye...  I've long held that we don't expose kids to different career fields and build career-relevant skills nearly as much as we should! It's never too early. And these programs seem particularly well-suited to that naturally "outdoorsy" type of kid... the programs sound fun, too!) 

Anyway, I thought I'd share the link in case any of you have an interest in checking it out...

Although it looks like many of the programs are already full for this summer, the Watershed Institute located in Pennington is also a good resource. Their web address is thewatershed.org if interested.

I can hit the place with a well-shot golf ball from my back yard.  Great summer programs there.
