Camp Internet Students have taken part in a Global Weather
Monitoring Projects
sponsored by Nasa in past years. The project involved collecting data daily and
reporting that data Daily using the template included in the
activity description. The more DATA POINTS (Schools/Homeschoolers)

For the Year 2001 Camp Weather Project students will be gathering data and reporting weather observations on the Camp's Weather Field Report form to build their own GIS based weather maps.
