For Rising 4th - 6th Grade Students,  Treasure Island
Join us for a treasure hunt on Dauphin Island. This is a half-day adventure and will be limited to 15 students + parents. We will use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to find "treasure" while learning about early explorers and settlers on Dauphin Island.

For Rising 7th - 9th Grade Students,   Gulf Island Journey
Enjoy fun and education in the sun at "Gulf Island Journey," the weeklong residential summer camp at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.  Participants will immerse themselves in a variety of hands-on marine science programs, taught by a team of

For Rising 10th - 12th Grade Students, High School Summer Course
DHP offers an accredited course in the summer in marine science.  The length of the course is four weeks, during which time the students live on campus and participate in over 150 hours of  supervised academic activities.  Classes are taught in an academic setting and are designed to give the student a better understanding and appreciation of the various fields in marine science.  The Alabama State Department of Education approves the Discovery Hall Summer Programs and recommends that local systems grant participating students credit toward either an Advanced or Standard High School Diploma.  The high school summer course is an intense, academic program introducing the student to the marine environment through classroom lecture, laboratory and field activities.
