Ocean Institute - Ocean Discovery Camp

How do marine biologists get the animals for their aquariums? How do you feed and care for animals like jellyfish? Immerse yourself in the fun and fascinating world of a marine biologist. You will work in our laboratories creating and maintaining an aquarium display. You will also explore the world the animals live in by bringing samples up from the ocean floor, using microscopes to study some of the ocean’s smallest inhabitants, dissecting a squid and using other scientific equipment to reveal the mysteries of the ocean. Other camp highlights include a variety of challenges with underwater robots, a two-hour adventure cruise aboard the R/V Sea Explorer, and a field trip to the SEA LIFE Aquarium next door to LEGOLAND California in Carlsbad.
