SeaCamp invites campers to dive into STEM careers at the Texas State Aquarium. SeaCamp provides behind-the-scenes experiences and animal encounters that allow campers to practice skills it takes to work at an aquarium and conserve wildlife. They’ll even come eye-to-eye with some of our animal ambassadors! Conservation is a large focus here at our Aquarium, and our goal is that campers learn the values of the animals and the importance of protecting them.

Each year, we strive to support young scientists through scholarship opportunities. For 2024, the Texas State Aquarium has decided to sponsor youth affiliated with a local nonprofit organization, and therefore will NOT be accepting applications for individual scholarships.
Please ensure the participation waiver is digitally signed and dated for each camper and return it to Nicole Gaertner, Education Manager, at [email protected] at least one week prior to camp.
