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.
