Aquarium of the Pacific

Older students can dive deeper into the realm of marine science in this hands-on science camp.

Through games, activities, tours, behind the scenes encounters, experiments, and animal interaction, your child will experience the fascinating field of marine biology.

Topics will be covered in more detail than the Ocean Adventure Day Camp, activities and crafts will be more involved, and journaling will become more advanced. Participants will not only have a fun time, but they will leave with a wealth of ocean knowledge.

Week 1 will cover the following topics (subject to change without notice):
Monday:  a.m. Aquaristing; p.m. Sharks
Tuesday:  a.m. Water; p.m. Mammals
Wednesday:  a.m. Adaptations in the Tidepool; p.m. Invertebrates
