I am so grateful that my donors gave me the opportunity to attend Camp Sea Lab this summer. It was so fun to learn about organisms that live in the intertidal zone and then being able to go tide pooling and identify and explore everything I learned. As we were learning we were also having fun. I learned how to kayak when we went on a tour to learn about sea otters, harbor seals, flying birds, and sand dollars. My first time boarding a vessel was also when I attended Camp Sea Lab and got the chance to see a mola mola. Meeting new people that came from different places was challenging for me at first because I thought I wasn't going to relate to them but, after stepping out of my comfort zone and interacting with other girls, I had a great time learning about them. Thanks to my donors I was able to do many things that I never thought I could do.

This summer I will be attending Camp SEA Girls Love Science Too. It will be fun to participate in this program because we will learn about the marine world. My school is small so it rarely offers students the opportunity to join programs during the summer. I was given the opportunity to sign up for a program I was interested in with help from the Wishbone team. This program will allow me to take a step out of my comfort zone and meet different people.

I can't wait to collaborate and share my ideas with other girls. I chose this program because I'm interesting in learning about sea life. By participating in this program, I believe I will meet my goals of working with people and expanding my knowledge.
