Week four Camp
The Little Mariner
July 21st - July 25th, 10:00am - 2:00pm
Ages 7 - 9 • Registrations available
O Captain! In this special camp, we will not only be diving into learning about sea creatures and what lurks on the shoreline, your student will also be discovering new knowledge about the seven seas, currents, ocean tides, and more. Why does the water draw out, and why does it draw in to high tide? What makes big waves? What makes small ones? How do we sail the seven seas? In addition to learning about the ocean, they will also learn about the life of a mariner from a real life special guest! When your student isn’t learning about the gyres of the Pacific or playing games on the shoreline, they will be drawing, writing, and creating in their Mariner Journals to take home at the end of the week.

Week four Camp
Marine Life: Big, Small, Short, and Tall!
July 21st - July 25th, 10:00am - 2:00pm
Ages 7- 9 • Registrations available
The ocean is teeming with diversity that is sometimes a little hard to imagine. Life can be smaller than the eye can see, or as big as the length of a beach! In this camp, we will spend half our time looking at marine life through microscopes, discovering amoebas, insects, plankton, and krill. For the other half of our time, we will be using fabric, rope, and paper to create representations of the largest creatures in the sea: a lion’s mane jellyfish, a blue whale, and the giant squid to name a few. Our goal for the week will be to better understand the sheer enormity of the ocean and its creatures through fun activities, games, and projects.

Week five Camp
Into the Deep
July 28th - August 1st, 10:00am - 2:00pm
Ages 7- 9 • Registrations available
Far below the surface of the ocean lies a world unlike the fish, sea stars, and crabs we see on the shoreline. Sometimes, they look more like aliens than fish, even if they are thousands of feet under the sea. In this camp, we will spend a week comparing and contrasting deep sea creatures with the ones we find at the beach through activities, games, and art projects. The sea is a gigantic thing, right here! When we explore the surface and the deep, we begin to imagine just how many landscapes, creatures, and universes there are right at our feet. This camp will include the ‘universe’ project: each camper will create and represent their favorite part of the sea through a diorama, poster, or performance (all materials provided).

Week five Camp
Sea Monster Patrol
July 28th - August 1st, 10:00am - 2:00pm
Ages 4 - 6 • Limited space available
A real-life sea monster? Try thousands! For so much of history, the ‘sea monster’ has appeared in poems, stories, and paintings. It's easy to chop these monsters up as spooky things, but time and again, science has shown us that something is lurking! But far from a monster, it's the colossal squid, the megalodon shark’s tooth, or the lion’s mane jellyfish. It turns out that there is no such thing as monsters after all! In this special camp, we will be learning all about the mysterious side of the beach. This camp is all about confidence: The ocean is no scary thing. Nor are there monsters lurking in the shadows. As it turns out, there are many ways to see the ocean as a friend. Whether we’re making sea creature masks or going monster-spotting, by the end of the week we will find ourselves better connected to the beach.
