Director Tim Chaucer has spent years running fun and educational summer camps in Milford. This past week, the Marine Biology Camp learned about different marine habitats and the many different animals that inhabit them. They examined mounts of fresh and saltwater fin fish, and other aquatic animals.

Check out the upcoming camps the Marine Institute offers:

Head down to Lisman Landing tomorrow, for Milford's Kick Off to Summer Fireworks. There will be live music by Sapphire and the Rum Runners, delicious food trucks, and the fireworks start at 9:15pm.

Free shuttles will run from Harborside Middle School, Wasson Field, and the Milford Senior Center and drop off at the event from 3:30-11:00pm. There will be no parking available behind the library, at the harbor, Lisman Landing, or at the Coast Guard.
