Ocean Institute - Neptune's Mysteries Camp

Become a detective and solve mysteries each day using scientific tools and techniques. Investigate new cases from our marine ecosystems right here in Dana Point: tide pools, sandy beaches and the open ocean. Use your scientific detective skills to figure out why Becky Blue Whale is so far from home and who-dun-it in our Mackerel Murder Mystery by exploring the Dana Point Marine Conservation Area, taking a Marine Mammal cruise onboard the R/V Sea Explorer, and exploring habits and adaptations of marine creatures. Join us for a fun-filled week of puzzles, ocean-themed crafts, and onsite marine plants and animals.
