Kids ages 6 to 15 can do a hands-on deep dive into the world of sharks, seals and other marine animals during the 2021 Summer Camp programs of The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
The Maritime Aquarium will show campers the fun side of science inquiry, with special activities, experiments and discoveries with animals and the marine environment. Depending on the age group and the week’s topic, activities may include a movie in the new 4D Theater, a coastal exploration at a local beach or an outing onto Long Island Sound aboard the Aquarium’s research vessel.
One- and two-week sessions for ages 6-8 and 9-12 are offered beginning June 20-24 with such themed sessions as “Shark Safari,” “Junior Marine Biologist” and “Ocean Defenders.” Times for most sessions are from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
And the three-week “Teen Apprentice” sessions – offered July 4-22 and Aug. 1-19 – are great opportunities for ages 13-15 to work side-by-side with members of the Aquarium’s Animal Husbandry and Education staffs. “Teen Apprentice” meets from 8 a.m.-2 p.m.
Prices vary depending on the content and length of the session. Aquarium members receive discounts. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify.
