About This Camp
The New York Aquarium’s summer camps, led by the award-winning Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Education department, offer immersive marine science experiences for adventurers from toddlers to teens. As industry leaders in zoo and aquarium education, the program blends structured play with hands-on discovery to help campers develop a deep understanding of ocean life and conservation. Participants engage in high-quality, educator-led activities and close-up animal encounters, providing a unique underwater adventure that fosters a lasting connection to the planet's diverse aquatic ecosystems.
The Ocean Invaders program investigates the environmental impact of invasive species, ranging from local land-based pests like lanternflies to marine threats like lionfish. Through a curriculum that includes guided exhibit visits, exclusive behind-the-scenes tours, and live animal demonstrations, campers explore the biological consequences of these "invaders" in both local and global ecosystems. This session emphasizes problem-solving and critical thinking as participants consider potential solutions to mitigate the effects of invasive species on our oceans and natural habitats.
