Spring and Summer Camps

Late-June through August

Sign your kids up for a summer of fun and let them explore the mysteries of the ocean world through our unique, hands-on programs. Campers can study marine wildlife in our labs, venture out to sea in search of whales aboard the R/V Sea Explorer, or even step back in time to the life of a tallship sailor in the 1800s.

Camps are suitable for kids/teens 5 to 17 years old and range from week-long day camps to single day programs and overnight adventures!

Summer Camp catalogs are mailed at the end of February. Priority registration for Members begins March 2, 2009 and general registration begins March 16, 2009.

Comments From Some of Our 2008 Summer Camp Parents

(via email questionnaire; names withheld)

"Very pleased with the program, I was impressed by the structure and how much my child learned yet never complained about being bored."


I thought the staff was excellent and I loved the literacy piece... my son wants all the books they read!"


Great program! It has planted a seed in him about marine life in a real way. Good job to your staff!


"The camp is very well organized and the staff is not only friendly and informative, but you can tell that they enjoy what they do and working with the children. I will recommend your camp for others and we will be doing the other camps that are offered in the future!!"


"I like the fact that you require an ID for the person picking up the kids and that you are very careful to keep an eye on the kids while they are waiting for the parents. Many camps don't do that, especially with kids in this age group, but I think it shows that you are operating your program responsibly. Thank you."


"Both of my children loved the camp it was nice to not have to drag them somewhere they didn't want to be. They will continue to come each summer. Thanks"


"Terrific, well-run program. My son is already asking can he go again next year."
