February 18, 2016
Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s Jr. Marine Biologist summer camp programs are interactive, educational and stimulating. Each camp is geared towards children ages 6* through 17. Students participating in the Jr. Marine Biologist summer camp program will gain an understanding of various nature-related topics such as (but not limited to) ecology and marine biology, with an emphasis on conservation.

Available Sessions:

Turtle Adventures (Ages 6* – 13):
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.

Explore Florida (Ages 6* – 13)
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.
