The best parts of camp were meeting new friends with the same interests, fantastic and friendly instructors, and snorkeling. Jr. Marine Biologist Parent 2017

He got to work like a real marine biologist. Be A Marine Biologist Parent 2017

There were constant activities, and he loved them all! Crawling Critters Parent 2017

This was my daughter’s second year to attend camp at CMA. I have never seen her so excited about anything. She decided when she was 3 that she wanted to be a Marine Biologist and these camps have been amazing. We have recommended the CMA camps to all of our family and friends with children. 2016 Camp Parent

My son learned a lot and still take about what he did and especially the crab he was able to hold. 2016 Camp Parent

So impressed when she came home and talked about the Venn diagram activity relating to the similarities and differences between the real, rescue and the film version of the rescue. Then the kids did a mock rescue. She couldn’t stop talking about that. All About Winter and Hope Camp Parent 2015

My son is an animal fanatic so he had a good base knowledge of certain animals. However he learned more & loved to share this information each day. I think it helps that each animal has a story that goes along with the educational side as to why they are there. Meet and Greet Camp Parent 2015

He never talks about things he learned in school as much as he talks about things he learns at this camp. All About Dolphins Camp Parent 2014

For the level of a of K-1 was excellent! Challenging but not out of reach! Fur and Fins Camp Parent 2014

REFUND POLICYRefunds on camp payments will be processed once written notification has been submitted by emailing the Supervisor of Education Programs at [email protected]. In the event of a cancellation, an 80% refund will be issued if the written cancellation request is received 15 days or more before the first day of camp. Cancellations within 14 to 5 days prior to the camp start will receive a partial refund of 50% of the total cost. Cancellations 4-0 days prior to the camp start will NOT receive a refund.

Full or partial refunds will NOT be issued to summer campers who attend one or more days of camp.

Clearwater Marine Aquarium reserves the right to separate or combine camps. Clearwater Marine Aquarium also reserves the right to cancel a camp for any reason. If your camp is canceled, you will be contacted a minimum of three 3 days in advance.

We require a minimum of three (3) participants per camp session. If we do not meet the minimum required participants by the Wednesday prior the camp, the camp will be canceled and full refunds, or rescheduling, will be conducted.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICYFlorida is prone to thunderstorms, tropical storms, and even hurricanes. There may be times when normal camp schedules need to be altered due to inclement weather. In these instances, Clearwater Marine Aquarium has indoor classroom activities planned for campers. For camps which include snorkeling, traveling, kayaking, or any other outdoor activities (including animal encounters) we will adjust our outdoor schedules on inclement weather days for the safety of our campers. We will make every effort to resume our normal camp schedules on inclement weather days as soon as possible. Since Clearwater Marine Aquarium does not have control over inclement weather we cannot guarantee that campers scheduled in these camps will snorkel, travel, kayak, or participate in an outdoor activity every day. Therefore, we will not issue full or partial refunds due to inclement weather.

In the event of a hurricane or other event in which the Aquarium may be subject to closure, please check www.SeeWinter.com for information on camp operation.
