2024 Summer Camp Schedule!
This year, we are excited to offer 9 weeks of day camps for school aged kids to learn about marine science through hands-on activities, interactive experiments, and a whole lot of fun! Each week of camp will run from 9am - 3pm, Monday to Friday, with the exception of stat holidays. We have two different camp offerings:
- Junior Explorers (K-Grade 2)
- Senior Explorers (Grades 3-6)
Ages are based on the grade they are in this spring. If you wish to register your child slightly outside of the range, please contact us.
