Land, Sea, Air, and Space Camp

My daughter attended the Land & Sea Camp on July 1-10, 2024. She had such an amazing time. The mixture of science, conservation, physical activity, and group dynamics were perfect for her. She is getting a full credit for the course through her online school, so she is excited about that as well. She definitely wants to attend again!

I really enjoyed science camp both times I’ve gone. The counselors are amazing and the activities were awesome. I’ve learned so much and I love that I can ask science questions anytime.

My 14 year old son attended the camp and absolutely loved it! The camp's focus on preserving the environment was particularly important to me, as I work for the Department of Energy investing in clean energy projects.
Having the opportunity to meet other campers from around the country and exposure to unique areas of the Big Island was invaluable! Mike's daily recaps of their activities was also delightful.
Thank you for providing such an educational and stimulating experience for my son.

I want to thank you for a fun filled exciting week of exploration and learning for my son! He came back happy, fulfilled, smarter and more motivated in school!

He learned a lot (while having fun) about science and the natural world, gained confidence and independence, made new friends from around the country, and just grew up a little by doing something totally new for him.

Thank you for providing such a fun and unique experience. My son mentioned how the counselors were mind blowingly smart, how he made friends, got off his junk food addiction, and proved he didn’t need his phone. Success!

My daughter is the third child we sent to camp. My sons have so much great stories about their experiences and shared them with their siblings. My daughter enjoyed her learning experiences and all the people she got to meet. She cannot wait to come back next year as she had a church camp to go to right after science camp.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at camp! I learned so much and did many extraordinary events! I would definitely recommend to someone who is very passionate about doing new things at a high level!

My 17 year old had a wonderful learning experience! The first thing he told us, "Mom, dad, I wish I can bring you here and show you some of the most beautiful places I've seen!" Mike runs an excellent program! From beginning to end he answered my every question and concerns expeditiously. I am very happy I found this amazing place!

My daughter had the Best time, Thank you so much Science camp of American for giving her this Awesome Opportunity.

Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Science Camps of America’s Land & Sea program! It was a wonderful introduction to the Big Island of Hawaii, and she was able to explore vastly different habitats and environments. From stargazing at Mauna Kea and hiking in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to snorkeling in Punalu’u (black sand) Beach and visiting Green Sands Beach, every day offered a new learning opportunity, and each activity was well-organized. Our daughter bonded with fellow campers, and she was excited to participate in community service projects that directly related to her interests in marine ecology and land conservation.

From a parental perspective, my husband and I appreciated the daily email and photo updates from the director. Commmunication to and from camp was easy, and if we had any questions along the way, they were promptly answered.

My son wasn’t sure what to expect from science camp it was his first time, and definitely not his last! He enjoyed his time so much!! From the field trips to making new friends and all the daily activities they have for them! Thank you too Mike and all the camp counselors and staff for making this experience possible.

I send my 14 your old daughter for Land and Sea camp and it was absolutely amazing experience for her. She came back with lots of scientific information and wonderful memories of Big Island. Camp director was superb in responding to me, we had trouble with our flight and they made sure there were people to meet her at the airport and took great care of everything! I love all the photos Mike was posting every day! It’s great to see kids learning while having fun and making new friends! Thank you! We definitely will be back next summer for space camp.
