Arrrrrrrg! Welcome Me Hearties! Calling all Marine biologists!
Camp Sea Adventures is a super-sized version of our former Camp Jolly Roger. Campers will explore the crystal blue oceans studying the structure of our oceans, marine life, and environmental issues. Projects include: The Ocean Zone Discovery Model, Map Making, Knot Tying, Ocean Wave Bottle, Shark Tooth Necklace, Urchin Wind Chime, and Shark Survey just to name a few. It’s an exciting week with a total of 20 make and take projects!
In addition to our oceanography experiments and activities, no sea adventure would be complete without some pirate escapades in search of gold, gems, and of course, some buried treasure.

Forms & Resources
Summer 2023 Camp Information Packet
Getting ready for camp should be an exciting process for your entire family. Many families attend multiple camps throughout the summer and often the information gets lost or misplaced. For your convenience we have posted our Camp Information in the form of a parent newsletter on-line in PDF format. This document covers everything from Club SciKidz policies to camp dates and security issues.
The Welcome Packet mentions an ‘Administration of Medicine Form’. If your child requires any medications during the time he/she is at the camp (including an Epi pen or inhaler), please download this form and print it, have it completed & signed by your doctor, and bring it with the child on the first day of camp.
Camps start at $339.00 per week*. *Please note the same camp may be a different price depending on the camp location—We keep our prices as low as possible at each individual location
Our week is Monday-Friday from 9am-3:30pm. Regular drop-off is between 8:30-9:00 and regular pick-up is between 3:30-4:00.
