Explore the Wonder of Long Island Sound this Summer!

Attention all young scientists and conservationists! Dive in and explore the fantastic ocean of wonder at The Maritime Aquarium’s summer camp. Our summer program integrates science with art, music and literature to deepen children’s understanding of animals and the environment.  

Young campers will explore the wonders of the ocean world through fun stories and games. Older kids will learn how technology and engineering can solve complex environmental problems like water pollution, marine debris, and storm resiliency. 

Registration is now open for one-, two- and three-week programs for kids ages 6 - 15 starting June 20.

In-Person Programs

To participate, your child must be the listed age by the first day of the program. Pre-registration is required (no same-day registration allowed.) Enrollment closes 10 days prior to each session's start date. Registration and forms are all done through Camp Docs. Register early to take advantage of our payment plan options!

Member Discounts: Aquarium members receive discounts on camp! Upon registering and paying the deposit for camp, the Aquarium will verify your membership and place a member discount on the balance due in your CampDoc account. 

Policies

Summer 2022 Guidelines

• Group sizes will follow the Office of Early Childhood guidelines. 
• Each camp session will have its own classroom space, meaning age groups will always eat and participate in activities separately from each other.  
  • Each camper will be assigned a classroom cubby to store personal belongings.
• Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer pre or extended care options for this summer.
• The Aquarium will increase its daily sanitation of classrooms and restrooms used by the campers and camp staff. 

Covid-19 Travel Advisory Policy

• Connecticut residents and travelers to Connecticut should follow travel-related guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH).  

Financial Assistance

• We believe every child should have an opportunity to participate in our summer camp programs. We have limited funds to supply partial scholarships for children to attend 1 session per spring or summer camp season. Please note, full scholarships are not available. To apply, submit a completed scholarship application by email to campdirector@maritimeaquarium.org.

• Refunds will be issued (minus a $50 processing fee) if notice of cancellation is received more than 4 weeks in advance of the session start date.  No refunds will be issued for cancellations received within 4 weeks of the start date.
