Looking for an exciting summer camp for your child? The Florida Aquarium offers summer camp activities for kids of all ages.

Check out AquaCamps for grades Pre-K-8 and a special SCUBA Camp for children ages 12-15. AquaTots, 3- and 4-year-olds, have two aquarium summer camp sessions per week with a parent or guardian, and AquaKids have three half-day sessions of aquarium summer camp on their own. Both age groups play games, make crafts, see animals and visit Explore A Shore, our outdoor water fun zone. 

Children which have completed grades K-3 participate in full-day week-long programs that include science explorations, Aquarium tours, arts and crafts, a live animal encounter, splash time at Explore A Shore and an offsite field trip. 

For those children who have completed grades 4-8, camps are full-day week-long travel camps focusing on marine science adventures. Travel groups are split into two age groups, 4th & 5th graders and 6 to 8th graders. Some of the summer activities for kids include kayaking, sailing, fishing, snorkeling, caving and more!

Each AquaCamp day is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Morning and afternoon care is FREE with early drop-off starting at 7:30 am and late pick up until 5:30 pm. Lunch options with snacks are available for an additional price. Camps can fill quickly and are registered on a first serve basis.

If your child is looking to make new friends, learn about marine animals, and have a great time, then our splashy, slippery, cool AquaCamp is the place to be!
