Sea Campus Kids

Sea Campus Kids is a marine-oriented day program for campers ages 6-11. Campers will have their hands-on and feet-in as they participate in activities such as wading through a salt marsh, dissecting a fish or seining in the surf.

Sea Campus Kids

Registration for Sea Campus Kids Day Camp (Waiting list only) will open on March 4th at 9:00a.m (CST)

All participants will register to the waiting list until we have a set capacity in April. Once we have a confirmation we will inform camper parents of their position.

If you are in the top 8 of a camp program you are highly likely to receive a spot. Please avoid registering for multiple sessions you do not intend on attending as this will prevent campers from having and accurate idea of opportunities this summer.

Become a certified Reef Inspector (RI) while exploring the lives of ocean creatures living side-by-side, such as sea anemones and clownfish.
