Omsi 2 Ocean Of Games

[Claudio Davey]

Ourfirst stop is the coral reefs, where we meet fascinating characters like the ingenious tusk fish that uses a tool to open its food. In the great forests of the sea, we find a cunning octopus who shields herself in an armoury of shells to hide from predators. As we journey through our oceans, we share these extraordinary discoveries and uncover a spectacular world of life beneath the waves.

The Empirical Theater has an upper-level wheelchair accessible entrance and theater restrooms; due to the layout of the theater the lower-level main entrance is only accessible by stairs. Please check in with a Guest Services Representative or volunteer for assistance in locating these areas.

Several daytime documentaries and newer evening full-features offer closed captions, audio description, and volume amplification. The CaptiView closed caption units allow guests to see captions for their show by using a cup holder device that they can adjust within their view, and the Fidelio RX audio description units deliver descriptive narration and can also amplify the theater volume and dialogue.

The Showing Today signs updated daily at the front desk and theater entrance indicate which features offer closed captions (CC) and audio description (AD), while volume amplification is available for all theater content including events such as Science Pub and Reel Science.

OMSI requires at least 2-weeks notice for scheduling a special documentary film time for a group visit. The easiest way to set up a documentary film as part of a field trip is using our online request form. Group leaders may also request a film title with our registration office at regi...@omsi.edu or 503.797.4661.

Once an organization sets up a documentary film with the registration office and your tickets are reserved the remainder of the tickets will be open to the public. Your group may be combined with other film attendees. To inquire about a private showing please contact the registration office.

Yes. snacks are allowed during the films. Schools may also coordinate with the registration office to eat lunch in the film. Please let the registration office know if you plan on eating during the film so we can arrange additional bins and clean up support.

OMSI will wait until 5 minutes after the scheduled start time. Then, the show must continue to stay on schedule for the day. Registration will try to work with you on tickets for a different film title later in the day but rescheduling is not guaranteed. We are unable to change the set film schedule. Refunds are not available.

Though we love Sea Camp and our campers, we've faced a number of organizational challenges in recent years, and have decided that during 2024 we will not be facilitating Sea Camp. If you are a parent or guardian looking for a summer camp for your nature-loving child, you may want to consider OMSI's Camp Gray: -gray/

Note that space is limited for Sea Camp and after all spots are taken, we have a waitlist. If you have registered/applied for any other of our programs within the past 4 years, you will log in under the same credentials. If you are a new student to Sea Camp or anything else that we offer, please use an email address that you will check often as this will be the email address Sea Camp will use when notifying students of their application, payment information, updates and reminders. Please do not use student school emails as sometimes those accounts are deactivated over the summer.

When you return to the system, press the 'Account Login' button and enter in your log in credentials. If you have forgotten your login credentials, press 'Account Login,' then 'Forgot Your Password?' If you have futher trouble with the system, please send us an email: youthp...@sou.edu.

Are you interested in the sea, wildlife creatures, and ocean plants? How does this ecosystem all work together, and how does it benefit us? Then Sea Camp is for you! Sea Camp is for budding scientists completing grades 4-8.

Sea Camp is expanding its horizons north, to Newport, Oregon! Sea Camp is a residential camp held at the Oregon coast in the town of Newport along the Central Coast, four and a half hours from Ashland. Students board the Sea Camp vans in Ashland (or meet-up at several stops in between) and travel to the coast. They spend the next 2 and a half days and three nights exploring the wonders of the marine and estuarine environments by hiking, observing marine mammals and taking classes in marine biology at Camp Gray in Newport, Oregon. Activities will take place in the community and natural parks of Newport. Students will have hands-on experiences and adventure! Camp Staff and Counselors with backgrounds in Education will lead activities and workshops. Plus you will have fun on the beach - think roasting marshmallows and giant sand castles!

Tuition for 2023 is $640. Tuition includes room, food, instruction, activities, supervision and transportation. We offer tuition assistance for students who demonstrate financial need. Awards are are generally up to 25% off/$150 off but more funding may be available in any given year. Applications for tuition assistance are located within the application.

Sea Camp of Oregon was first established in 1997 with the goal of offering students a hands-on experience in marine biology and science. Southern Oregon University Youth Programs and various partners have worked together to create a enrichment experience where students can learn more about the wonders of our oceans and coastlines.

Explore the Shallow Reef teeming with hundreds of native and endemic species and continue down into the Deep Ocean. Encounter enormous Ulua and sharks swimming in harmony within our 750,000 gallon exhibit. Immerse yourself in our popular underwater tunnel.

Cameron has had a lifelong fascination with the deep oceans. He has led eight major deep-sea expeditions and many submersible dives, setting world firsts, including the first solo dive to the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the first exploration of the interior of the wreck of the RMS Titanic, and the first seafloor-to-surface live broadcast. He has also explored deep ocean phenomena such as black smoker hydrothermal vents and discovered new species from the lowest point on earth.

Yaquina Head Light

Oregon's tallest lighthouse extends out from the Oregon coast, one mile into the Pacific Ocean. Standing 93 feet tall at the westernmost point of the basalt headland, the lighthouse has been a bright beacon of the night, guiding ships and their supplies along the west coast since the light was first lit on August 20, 1873. Visitors can climb steep stairs to the top for an incredible view.

Beverly Beach

Beverly Beach is popular for a reason! Like magic, a well-known walkway goes under the highway and emerges to the long expanse of sandy beach extending from Yaquina Head (you can see the lighthouse from here) to the headlands of Otter Rock.

Agate Beach

Diggers, this park's for you! Razor clamming is a favorite activity as well as surfing. If you plan to visit prime Newport attractions like the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Hatfield Marine Science Center, you must stop in for a refreshing picnic at Agate Beach.

South Beach State Park

Situated next to the Yaquina Bay Bridge, South Beach State Park begins in south Newport and stretches several miles down the Oregon coast. This historic park offers a variety of recreational opportunities. The paved jetty trail provides a perfect place to jog or ride a bicycle.

Newport Historic Bayfront

Enjoy the many restaurants, galleries, boat tours, gift shops and more. The Bayfront area is home to Oregon's biggest commercial fishing fleet. Sea lions also inhabit the many private docks and public piers.

The Edge Glass Blowing

There is a glass blowing studio right in the gallery space so visitors can watch this beautiful and ancient art in action. Visitors can also take individual classes to design and blow their own glass float. Check out the video pages, glass blowing classes, to get a feel for the experience of ''getting hot at the edge!''
