Summer Learning Adventure Camps 2012 

Accredited by the American Camp Association

From the classroom to the seashore, our accredited Summer Learning Adventure Camps merge scientific exploration with hands-on fun and learning. Campers ages 4-15 investigate marine habitats, create ocean art projects, learn about careers in oceanography, and combine the science and sports of surfing and snorkeling, all while making new friends and memories.

Stay tuned for more information about our upcoming summer classes.  Registration begins Monday, March 5 for Birch Aquarium members and Monday, March 12 for the public.  Classes will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
