About
- It's never "too early" to start exploring and it is never too early to start loving, and learning, about the amazing world around us.
With over 70% of the Earth covered with water, each day of camp will bring new adventures, discoveries and opportunities to explore! Toddlers will spend a fun filled morning learning and exploring the marine world around them.
They will collect specimens, conduct experiments and discover why the creatures around us are so amazing. From art, loose parts stations and aquarium time to seine netting and pier walks, our toddlers are always participating in hands on activities. This summer our toddler camps are three hours long!
