Reviews:
"Seacamp’s core philosophy is “For all the sea has to teach us and all the fun in learning it!”. Seacamp is a non-profit organization offering a unique marine science/SCUBA residential camp for teenagers 12-17 and a marine science day camp for youth 10-13 during the summer. During the fall and spring Seacamp hosts various schools groups, of many different ages, from all over the United States and the World. Established in 1966, it is located near the most extensive coral reef in the continental United States in the middle of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Seacamp offers courses in marine science, SCUBA diving, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, arts and crafts, photography, and camp newspaper. Through the use of its’ surrounding environment Seacamp aims to educate children about marine science and ocean conservation. It does tremendous work with marine conservation. Having been both a participant as well as a staff member for many years I can with confidence say this is a wonderful and enirching program!"
