Welcome Campers!

We're sure you are just as disappointed as we are that we can't return to Marine Camp this summer, but we hope you enjoy the Camp Kit we put together just for you! Here, you’ll find several videos that supplement the activities in your kit. Before you get started, check out some special welcome messages below – you may see some familiar faces!

Each day, you will return to this page to “Explore More” and watch a short video clip that correlates to your daily schedule of activities. You can also explore the rest of the Digital Education page for free activities any time you want! And don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of this page to view all of last year’s summer camp videos!

Hopefully we can all reunite next year, but until then stay safe and never stop learning about, loving, and giving back to our marine environments.
