This summer, children have the chance to participate in a unique and educational experience through Heal the Bay’s Aquarium Science Camp in Santa Monica. The camp is designed to teach kids about the fascinating water systems in the area.
Heal the Bay is an environmental nonprofit organization that works to keep the coastal waters and watersheds of Greater Los Angeles safe, healthy, and clean. Throughout the year, they offer a variety of programs and camps designed to inspire a love for science and learning in students.
The Aquarium Science Camp runs from June 24 to July 26 and provides a hands-on learning opportunity for children to study the ocean, explore the natural world, and expand their knowledge of marine science. Each week, campers get to explore different ocean environments, interact with live animals at the Aquarium, spend time at the beach, play games, and learn how to become stewards for the ocean.
Kelly Kelly, Associate Director of Aquarium Education at Heal the Bay emphasizes that camp activities are designed to make learning fun and engaging for kids. Through experiences like digging in the sand or discovering sand crabs among other exciting activities, children develop a love for science and marine life.
The camp takes place at Heal The Bay’s Aquarium on Santa Monica Pier and is open to children entering kindergarten through eighth grade. Both daily and weekly registration rates are available online for more information visit https://healthebay.org/camps/.
