Ocean Adventure Camp dives into Earth's most expansive and mysterious habitat — the ocean, which covers more than 70 percent of our planet's surface. Each session tackles a different oceanic theme, taking students from crashing waves and sandy beaches all the way down to pitch-black deep-sea trenches, volcanic islands, and shipwrecks transformed into thriving coral reefs. Along the way, students explore the science behind waves and tides, encounter remarkable aquatic animals, and discover how the ocean shapes weather, climate, and daily life on land. This course is built for curious students who want to go beyond the surface and understand the forces, creatures, and ecosystems that make the ocean the most dynamic place on Earth.
