Join our Aquarium educators for five full days of exploration! Each day, campers ages 10-12 will explore two unique topics, diving deeper to understand animal adaptations, habitats, and ocean science. There will be opportunities for games, crafts, feeding animals, Aquarium tours, and making memories with fellow campers. We can’t wait to see you!
