WHO WE ARE

MEET STONE LAB

We’re The Ohio State University’s island campus on Lake Erie, hosting 25+ college-credit courses and resume-building workshops each and every summer on our six-acre island in Put-in-Bay harbor. If you’re looking for learning outside the box — outside the classroom — you’ve come to the right place.

Take a Course

We offer classes from Aquatic Biology to Zoology — and plenty in between.

Conduct Research

Our eight-week fellowship program gives college students hands-on experience with data collection and analysis.

Visit Us

We also offer educational field trips and group tours for visitors of all ages.
