This summer, children have the opportunity to join Heal the Bay’s Aquarium Science Camp and discover the fascinating water systems in Santa Monica.
Heal the Bay is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that the coastal waters and watersheds in Greater Los Angeles are safe, healthy, and clean. They provide various programs and camps throughout the year with the goal of inspiring students’ passion for science and learning.
The Aquarium Science Camp runs from June 24 to July 26 and offers kids a hands-on experience to study marine science, learn about the natural world, and explore ocean environments. Each week, campers get to interact with live animals at the Aquarium, observe the beach, play games, develop a sense of responsibility as ocean stewards, and construct explanations through classroom learning.
According to Kelly Kelly, Heal the Bay’s Associate Director of Aquarium Education, this camp provides a fun and engaging way for children to learn science by involving them in interactive experiences like exploring the beach and finding sand crabs. The camp environment allows kids to directly observe, ask questions, communicate information in a more enjoyable and engaging manner. This camp takes place at the Heal the Bay Aquarium located at Santa Monica Pier and is open to kids from kindergarten to eighth grade.
