Clearwater Marine Aquarium is offering several camps for kids spanning the fall and winter 2014 holiday season. Camps are offered for single days or multiple days. An overview of the camps listed below can be found here.
October 25: Halloween inspired Sea Monster Mash.
Learn about Vampire Squid, Goblin Sharks, Ghost Shrimp, and other deep sea creatures. Visit our goo- station and make “fish” slime, create an icky “bioluminescent” fish anatomy picture, get entangled in our food web, play ghoulish games, and feed creepy crustaceans.
November 24 – 26: Thanksgiving inspired Sea of Thanks.
Discover how different ocean animals interact with each other. Create your own signature whistle as we discuss how dolphin families communicate and make a sea turtle family tree. We’ll explore many ocean communities, including creating our own coral reef.
December 21 – 23 or December 29 – 31: Holiday Mini Camps.
Learn about Florida marine life and their cold water cousins through fun-filled interactions with some of Clearwater Marine Aquarium’s resident animals. Discover how blubber and fur work to keep animals warm, prepare treats for our rescued animals and spend time out on Clearwater Bay, seeing animals in action. Participate in a fish feeding session, play educational games and make crafts, as we compare animal adaptations here in Florida to animals in the coldest regions of the world.
