MSC offers a variety of Summer Camps, Family Camps and Courses that give all campers a hands-on, feet wet experience.

Summer Camp-Campers explore coastal habitats, interact with marine and terrestrial creatures and spend the evenings enjoying traditional summer
camp activities. Experienced Marine Science Educators lead daytime field trips and activities, while resident chaperons live in the dormitory facility with campers and supervise them during non-class time.
