Tall Ship Explorer Day Camp

Younger campers have fun in an exciting and supportive environment through our Explorer Day Camp, and no previous sailing experience is necessary. We provide all that and more as we guide them in setting and adjusting sails, keeping the ship on course, and more. We also give real-world context to the STEM subjects they study in school as they learn, discover and explore with us through this unique, hands-on experience!

Explorer Day Camp runs Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM, with the optional overnight on Thursday. Before and after care options are available for an extra fee – campers can begin at 8:00 AM for an additional $25 and/or stay until 5:00 PM for an additional $50.

• Land, Sea, Sky Explorers – From the smallest microorganism to the continents and the clouds in the sky, everything is connected on this beautiful blue marble. Campers will discover the link between the spheres, as well as the link between themselves and their crewmates by interacting with the land, sea and sky while visiting beaches and aquariums, and taking a sail or two in the harbor.
• Art Explorers – Campers learn sea shanties and dances, create art and make music. They will be encouraged to let the ocean inspire them as they create poems and artwork to bring home and cherish forever.
• Coastal Explorers – Campers explore the water from the coast, looking at tidal zones and the organisms in them. Water tests and citizen science projects will help connect everyone to the sea and see the impact that water has always had and will continue to have on communities.

These are some of the most memorable camp options in Southern California - seeing the beautiful California coast in a way most people never experience!
