The camp offers a unique opportunity to explore marine science through interactive experiences directly within the Aquarium's exhibits, with some programs including a whale watching excursion.
The Aquarium of the Pacific Summer Camps offer immersive ocean science experiences for children aged 3-12. Campers engage in hands-on activities, exploring marine biology, oceanography, and environmental science within the Aquarium's unique exhibits and facilities, which include a three-story kelp exhibit and a tropical tunnel. Activities encompass animal feedings, guided tours of popular exhibits, games, and crafts. Specific camps cater to different age groups, such as Fish Fry Camp for preschoolers focusing on animal adaptations through movement, play, and discovery. Sea Squirts Camp for ages 5-6 allows young campers to discover ocean animal adaptations through hands-on learning, crafts, and play. Ocean Adventure Camp for ages 7-9 delves into ocean science through games, crafts, and interactive activities. Older campers in Junior Biologist Camp (ages 10-12) dive deeper into marine science with hands-on learning and exhibit exploration. The Coastal Explorer Camp for the same age group further enriches the experience with a whale watching excursion into the Pacific Ocean. Through these programs, children develop a sense of wonder, respect, and stewardship for marine life and ecosystems.
A typical day involves exploring Aquarium exhibits, participating in hands-on learning activities, engaging in crafts and games, and experiencing animal feedings. For older campers, each day may focus on two unique topics related to ocean science.
This camp is ideal for children who are curious about marine life, ocean science, and environmental conservation, and enjoy hands-on learning experiences.
