July 19: Animal Artists.
This is the camp for the budding young artist with a flair for the wild.
Campers will use the Aquarium as inspiration to create works of art
using paint and clay. We’ll even get to see a sea lion create an awesome
work of art!

It will be all tentacles, suction cups and ink as we discover the
smarty-pants of the sea. Through mythology, games and squid dissections,

with a live octopus!

our animal care staff… but they’ve been kidnapped! Our campers will
have to use all their sleuthing skills to help rescue the missing
keepers and catch the kidnapper!
- August 9: Harry Otter.
Do the otter keepers use magic to get the sea otters to cooperate in
their daily care? Through the “magic” of training, our otter training
wizards conjure up amazing working
relationships with these enchanting animals. In this camp, we’ll
discover the training tricks that work like a charm.
- August 16: Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Shark?
We’ll make a splash as we discover the

Keiki Kahua is Hawaiian for “kids’ camp” and in this camp we will be exploring the beautiful Hawaiian Islands from the towering volcanoes of Pele to the crashing surf and colorful coral reefs.
