Welcome to the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute – Teen Camp

Conservation Leadership in Action Week (CLAW) 

Dig your claws in for an intensive, week-long overnight summer camp with scientists from the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute. We will explore the many ways we interact with the environment through our rivers and streams. We will paddle, hike, and snorkel, to learn more about the watery world and animals that live around us. Students who complete camp will have access to TNACI scientists as resources for future projects so they can continue their development as a water conservation hero.  Spots are limited and competitive.  

CLAW will take place June 16 - 22, 2013 with a family lunch as part of our closing activities. Students will live in the dorms at Baylor School and use their classrooms as a base for our activities. The total cost is $750. Full and partial scholarships are available for those in need of assistance.
