Camp welcome packet and forms available. Download here>>
Thank you to all of the parents and guardians who participated in our end of the summer survey this past year. Your feedback has helped us improve our camp process and camper experience. Here are a couple of changes we made based on your suggestions:
Ease of sign-up
You wrote in and we listened! Last year the sign-up process created problems for many participants and after working out a few kinks on our end, we’ve streamlined the website so signing up your child should be a breeze!
Early Bird Discount
In addition to decreasing our camp prices this year, we are also offering Early Bird discounts from January 1st-February 28th. Participants can save by signing up for camp early as well as registering for multiple weeks or multiple children. For more details, please see below.
JMB Scholarship
This year marks a red letter year for our JMB program and we are proud to announce the inception of our Junior Marine Biologist Summer Camp Scholarship. For more information and to complete the application, click here>>

JMB Summer Camp Schedule:
Turtle Adventures
Does your child have a love for sea turtles? Our Turtle Adventures program allows campers a first-hand look into their conservation and ecology. Participants will embark on a week-long journey into the world of these magnificent ocean creatures. They will participate in activities such as hospital visits, nesting simulations, demonstrations by real sea turtle researchers, snorkeling excursions, and more. The camp will encompass not only sea turtles but also their marine environment as well as conservation measures taken to sustain these beloved reptiles.
June 11-15 July 9-13 August 6-10 (7-10 year olds only)

Explore Florida
Would your child rather spend the afternoon outside inspecting different aspects of the natural world than staying in and playing video games? Our Explore Florida camp will take your child on a week-long expedition that investigates all aspects of our Floridian paradise. Participants will explore multiple habitats, learning about the animals that call it home. Activities include birdwatching, scavenger hunts, fossil digs, dissections (older groups), sea turtle nesting activities, and ooey-gooey experiments to take home.
June 18-22 July 16-20

Field Experiences
Got a budding scientist on your hands? Our Field Experiences camp is designed to prepare high school-aged kids for a future in biology or other related sciences. Campers will spend their days making observations about the local environments as well as experiencing them first hand. Activities will include snorkeling excursions, seining for fish, lab experiments, dissections, sea turtle nesting surveys and much more.
