Kids ages 6 -15 can dive in and explore the fantastic ocean of wonder at our summer camp. Our sessions integrate science with art and literature to deepen children's understanding of animals and the environment. 

Young campers will explore the wonders of the ocean world through fun stories and games. Older explorers will learn how technology and engineering can solve complex environmental problems like water pollution, marine debris, and storm resiliency.
