Date & Time
About This Event
Ocean Adventure is a summer camp for campers entering grades 7-9. Ocean Adventure runs Monday, June 22nd - Saturday, July 27th from 4pm-7pm Monday-Thursday, 4pm-8pm Friday, and an excursion from 9am-2pm on Saturday.
Campers will explore how to be safe and have fun in and around the water. Discover marine life while snorkeling, test your balance abilities on a paddleboard, and paddle a kayak on an expedition! This is the perfect camp for those looking to adventure on the water and explore marine environments while reading between the lines to explore life within kelp forests. Dinner is provided during the evening programs, and lunch is provided on Saturday.
Grades 7 – 12 Expectations: Campers in grades 7–12 should be able to sustain focus for hour-long field trips, feel comfortable swimming for short stretches in the ocean, and feel excited about time outside and stretches of physical activity. They will be expected to plan cooperatively and delegate tasks, support their peers, and be independently motivated. These campers will learn science content through direct instruction, individual experimentation and observation, group discussion, and Q&A with experts. Skills in these camps require maturity and compliance with safety instructions. Work blocks will be 60–90 minutes, and in some cases may extend for several hours.
