Jr. Discoverers – Full Day Camp

Embark on the ultimate seaside adventure with Jr. Discoverers, where campers explore and engage with marine life through exciting hands-on activities. Tailored for young explorers aged 7–10, our Point Hudson campus serves as the launching point for discovering the fascinating creatures inhabiting the sea and its surroundings. From beach explorations and rowboat adventures to thrilling powerboat rides and sailboat trips, every day promises new and exciting experiences and offers campers opportunities to engage with the wonders of the natural world. They even get to spend one day exploring the Marine Science Center! Our instructors, as well as all being certified in CPR and first aid, are skilled mariners who love to have fun and share their passion for messing about in boats.

All Junior classes will take a trip to Elevated Ice Cream & Candy Shop on one of the program days, typically Friday. The price of this is included in your program fees.
