Oceans are very important to all of us. Oceans cover about 70% of the Earth’s surface and contain 97% of the Earth’s water supply. Oceans are amazing and full of life. Oceans affect weather, temperature, provide food, and approximately 75% of our oxygen is produced by marine plants. This is an incredible ocean themed summer camp running Monday through Friday! This camp makes waves with a week-long program focusing on ocean animals and their habitats. Campers pick their favorite ocean animals and complete a fun study of their chosen animal as an oceanographer. This amazing camp will include crafts, projects, discussions, math fun, themed games, puzzles, and more enriching fun. This camp offers a unique perspective of ocean animals both above and below the water. Jump in, it will be a splash! Supplies needed: cost of camp takes this into account.
