Exploring the Depths of the Ocean through Science: Heal the Bay’s Aquarium Science Camp Offers a Unique Learning Experience for Kids

This summer, children have the opportunity to participate in science activities and explore the fascinating water systems in Santa Monica at Heal the Bay’s Aquarium Science Camp.

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 discover different ocean environments. Each week, campers interact with live animals at the Aquarium, play games, observe the beach, 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, the camp provides an engaging way for children to learn science by involving them in interactive experiences that increase their interest in science and the ocean. The camp environment allows kids to directly observe, ask questions, communicate information in a more enjoyable manner while also taking place at Heal The Bay’s Aquarium located at Santa Monica Pier which adds more fun to their learning journey. It’s open to kids from kindergarten to eighth grade.
