The AFSC has participated in NOAA Science Camp since its inception in 2003. NOAA Science Camp is coordinated by NOAA, Washington Sea Grant (WSG), and the University of Washington’s Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Oceans (JISAO). NOAA's involvement is through the Northwest Regional Education and Outreach Group (NWREOG).
NOAA Science Camp started as a grassroots effort to increase environmental literacy in the Puget Sound area, and has evolved into a one-of-a-kind educational experience involving activities from several NOAA offices (fisheries, marine mammals, weather, oceanography, diving, charting, habitat restoration, hazardous material assessment, and coastal restoration/watersheds). The camp has helped middle school students gain an understanding of environmental issues and NOAA’s role in their own community.
