SUMMER SEACAMP 2024 - SOLD OUT!

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.  

Our Summer 2024 Seacamp is currently SOLD OUT and the waitlists are full!
