This summer, children have the chance to delve into the world of science and learn about the water systems in Santa Monica through the Aquarium Science Camp organized by Heal the Bay.
Heal the Bay is a nonprofit organization committed to ensuring the safety, health, and cleanliness of the coastal waters and watersheds in Greater Los Angeles. They provide a variety of programs and camps throughout the year that aim to spark students’ interest in science and learning.
The Aquarium Science Camp is a hands-on educational experience where kids can explore the ocean, discover the natural world, and nurture their curiosity in marine science. Each week, campers get to immerse themselves in different ocean environments, interact with live animals at the Aquarium, observe the beach, play games, and learn how to become ocean stewards.
Kelly Kelly, Associate Director of Aquarium Education at Heal the Bay emphasizes on making learning relevant by providing hands-on experiences like digging in sand or discovering marine creatures that encourage a love for science and ocean. The camp offers a unique learning environment outside of classroom where children can directly observe, ask questions, provide explanations and communicate information in an interactive and engaging manner. The camp takes place at Heal The Bay Aquarium on Santa Monica Pier from June 24th to July 26th and it’s open for children from kindergarten through eighth grade with daily and weekly rates available.
