OCEAN ADVENTURE SUMMER CAMP ON CATALINA ISLAND!

Kids age 8-17 who are interested in marine biology and an ocean adventure summer camp experience have a blast at Catalina Sea Camp!

Our fun-filled one-week and three-week sessions are a one-of-a-kind ocean adventure! Kids enjoy the experience of a lifetime learning marine biology, developing new skills and having fun with newfound friends.

Our secluded summer camp is located on a private beach at Toyon Bay on Catalina Island. Two and a half miles by water from the city of Avalon, Catalina Sea Camp is an ideal combination of land and sea for an amazing summer camp experience.

Happy Campers & Parents

Sam looked so alive when he got off the boat to come home. He was radiating excitement, happiness, achievement. It was a wonderful experience for him.

Sam's Mom (11 year old)

Our Catalina experience has been Boy Scouts which is a terrific program no doubt but doesn't compare in the style of the program. We loved the personal focus to the parents and child, you gave a sense of reassurance through your communications rather than parents seeking reassurance that all was well, clearly the program is a top class program through based on the amenities, depth and breadth of activities offered, and blending the "summer camp fun" into the program.

Riley's Mom (10 year old)

I wanted her to be able to have independent experiences, explore new activities, have fun, be a kid but be on her own too. She had all that and more!
