Thankful for an enjoyable and educational summerDespite the hardships of Covid-19, BSSC was able to guarantee all of its interns with jobs for the summer of 2020. Many internship programs were canceled completely due to the outbreak. BSSC allowed the staff to have a fun summer job where we gained sailing, powerboat, and maintenance skills. In addition, we were able to run our summer camp program with children through zoom and seesaw activities. This allowed us to create educational videos to teach students about sea life, scuba diving, and ma… Read more
We all had a great timeWhile this summer was a bit unusual, we all had a great time at the Center learning a bunch of useful skills on boats and in the classroom. Having kids on Zoom was a blast and I’m so glad we were able to make this summer work for all of our students.
Spirit and Community of BSSC was aliveAlthough BSSC was executed through an online platform this summer, the quality of instruction did not fall short.

Despite the barrier of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, the outreach to students over Zoom and Seesaw kept the spirit and community of BSSC alive.

I can't wait to see what the summer of 2021 has to offerThis summer was great! Given the opportunities that we had due to COVID-19, BSSC made the best of what they could do.

I can’t wait to see what the summer of 2021 has to offer.
My Experience at BSSCThis summer has been unlike any other with all of the obstacles that COVID-19 has thrown at the world. The strict regulations and guidelines regarding this virus have made it challenging for summer educational camps for kids to stay open. The Boothbay Sea and Science Center, however, has found a way to engage the kids through Zoom and ‘Seesaw’, a virtual learning platform. My name is Olivia Harriman and I was a science instructor here at the center this summer in East Boothbay, Maine. I had … Read more
A very different summerThis summer was very different than it would be under normal circumstances. COVID-19 had a huge impact on the teaching methods for the students, but we pushed through. We successfully taught them and had them engaged in the material that was being introduced. Creating activities and videos for the kids to do on their own time was one of my highlights this summer. I enjoyed creating videos of activities that I would have done with them if it was in person. Overall, this summer was a blast and the… Read more
