You get to go out on the bay in a big boat. How great is that. I imagined some parents saying this to their kids as they were dropping them off for summer camp sessions at the Marine Science Institute (MSI - a non-profit organization founded in 1970). And, if I thought I could get away it, I would probably sign myself up for this camp. MSI had a small aquarium, a fairly large research vessel, and several small outdoor areas set-up for instruction, puppet shows, and other activities. There was even a small strip of beach, with a view of the Port of Redwood City (one of four deep water ports in the San Francisco Bay).
