[Classifieds] [classifieds]: Summer Student Housing Needed

[MBL Classifieds]

From: "George Liles" George.liles at noaa.gov 


The Woods Hole Science Aquarium is looking for housing for high school students who want to participate in their two-week seminars this summer ( July 15 -26 and July 29 to August 9 ). These are students who do not have family on the Cape but who want to experience the Woods Hole science community. If you have a bed available and would be willing to share your home – kitchen and laundry facilities – please consider hosting one of the students. 

There is one boy who needs housing for our Five Week program ( June 24 to July 26 ). 

The students are all at least 16 years old and they are rising juniors or seniors. Most of them are from urban communities. 


The students’ families are expecting to pay for housing and food. The price can be negotiated. In the past people have charged WHSA students $150 per week for a bed with kitchen and laundry privileges. Sometimes the students shop for their own food and cook for themselves (lots of mac-n-cheese), and sometimes they pay a weekly food charge to eat with the host family. 

The aquarium programs are all-day programs and we keep the students very busy. The host family does not have to entertain the student in evenings or on weekends (although you are, of course, welcome to share family life with them if you choose to do so). The students are expected to get themselves to the aquarium, so host family needs to be near the trolley or within bike-able distance of Woods Hole. 

Please consider hosting a student (or two if you have room) this summer. 

Direct any questions to WHSA Curator George Liles ( George.liles at noaa.gov or 774-263-8708 ).
