Seacamp

Marine Science, Sailing, & SCUBA camps in the Florida Keys

Founded in 1966, Seacamp is the first program dedicated to the education of youth in marine sciences.

Seacamp shows the way to the sense of wonder within you that will last a lifetime. Through its marine science program, underwater exploration and study beckon you to a world apart. Seacamp is minutes from the only living coral reef in all America. This is the only one remaining. And here you can see an almost endless variety of marine life forms as they existed eons ago, before some emerged from the sea to become mammal ... and man.

Marine Science Programs
Seacamp's tropical marine location in the lower Florida Keys enables it to offer a truly unique marine science program. This program is the heart of Seacamp and makes available to campers and young scientists a variety of coordinated activities under the guidance of academically-trained marine science instructors.

Campers are able to discover for themselves the fascinating, little-known world beneath the ocean surface and the delicate relationships which unite all marine organisms in endless cycles of life and survival. Students can work at their own level of interest, learning basic ecological principles and concepts that are pertinent to the future of our natural resources as well as the study of marine science.

SCUBA Programs
Seacamp offers several courses in safe SCUBA diving and Marine Science to qualified campers. The courses are designed to give the diver training in SCUBA techniques so that he/she will be able to safely use SCUBA as a tool for underwater research. Satisfactory completion of a certification course will earn the camper a nationally recognized certification card. Certification will be issued through NAUI.

Non-Science Programs
Seacamp teaches the fun and skills of sailing. It's an excellent way for future marine scientists to become familiar with the winds, tides and currents that are of primary concern in oceanography. Seacamp maintains a fleet of six Pelicans, five Hobie Holders, two Pintails, two 14' Hobie Cats, a 16' Hobie Cat, and ten Board Sailers. Basic Red Cross certification is offered to beginners in sailing.

The Red Cross course in advanced lifesaving is taught at Seacamp. The course is designed to increase the campers' ability to recognize and avoid hazardous water conditions and practices and to use self-rescue skills to get out of dangerous situations.

Seacamp also offers traditional camp activities such as Arts and Crafts and field trips.
