Keesler kids enjoy Sea Camp program
Jerrod Farrington teaches 8-year-old Rachel Hampton about fish anatomy with a stuffed model at Project Marine Discovery Sea Camp last week. Sea Camp, now in its 23rd year, is sponsored by the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs. Rachel and her sister Sarah, who also attended the week-long camp, are the daughters of Staff Sgt. Jim and Lisa Hampton, 81st Medical Operations Squadron. In addition to the Hampton girls and the campers pictured below, other Sea Campers who received scholarships from the Keesler Spouses Club are Dana Williams, daughter of Lt. Col. Ken and Karen Williams, 81st Surgical Operations Squadron, and Maddie Mazey, daughter of Capt. Brett and Mariah Mazey, 81st Medical Support Squadron. The six children, who have a parent who is currently deployed or recently returned from deployment, submitted essays to the KSC to be considered for the scholarships.
