Philosophy: If you’re looking for a camp that’s truly immersive and unforgettable, Catalina Sea Camp is a standout. Kids don’t just learn about the ocean-they actually live it, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and real marine life just off the coast of Avalon. From scuba diving and snorkeling to hands-on marine labs, your child will be guided by passionate instructors who make science fun and accessible. The camp’s philosophy is all about building confidence, independence, and a deep respect for the natural world. With a blend of exciting activities, strong friendships, and a safe, supportive environment, your child will come home with new skills, lasting memories, and a spark for learning that goes far beyond the classroom. For families, the peace of mind comes from knowing your child is not only having a blast, but also growing in ways that matter most.
