Faulkner State Community College Gulf Shores’ campus successfully hosted its first children’s program this summer with Ocean Camp, marine science for ocean lovers and future marine scientists ages 5-12. 

This outreach opportunity for local and visiting children was successful due to the enthusiasm of participating families as well as support, encouragement and donations from the local community. We would like to offer an admirable thank you for the support of education and small business in South Baldwin County!
