"THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME ENROLLING OUR SON IN A SUMMER CAMP, AND WE COULDN’T HAVE PICKED A BETTER ONE. THE STAFF MADE HIM FEEL WELCOME, SAFE, AND INCLUDED FROM DAY ONE. HE LOVED THE BOAT RIDE AND TOUCH TANKS, AND HASN’T STOPPED TALKING ABOUT THE DOLPHINS HE SAW!"

"MY DAUGHTER CAME HOME EVERY DAY BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT ABOUT WHAT SHE HAD LEARNED, FROM DISSECTING SQUID TO EXPLORING TIDE POOLS. SHE NOW SAYS SHE WANTS TO BE A MARINE BIOLOGIST! I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE OCEAN INSTITUTE’S CAMP STAFF FOR FOSTERING THAT PASSION IN SUCH A FUN AND HANDS-ON WAY " SARAH M SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
"AS A PARENT, I VALUE EXPERIENCES THAT COMBINE FUN WITH LEARNING, AND OCEAN INSTITUTE’S SUMMER CAMP DELIVERED BOTH. MY KIDS NOT ONLY HAD AN INCREDIBLE TIME, THEY CAME HOME WITH A DEEPER RESPECT FOR OUR OCEANS AND ENVIRONMENT WE’LL DEFINITELY BE BACK NEXT YEAR!"
