Imagine waking up with the turquoise Caribbean Sea at your doorstep, diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking, following sea turtles, spotted eagle rays and the myriad of life on the coral reef....all at the Little Cayman Research Centre, this summer's Caribbean Sea Camp will be a summer to remember...forever...
CCMI has operated the Caribbean Sea Camp program for the past 10 years. Divers and non-divers will be accepted into this program for high school students interested in learning about marine biology and conservation directly from scientists and graduate students. The program is intended for students who already have an interest in marine science.
Come to CCMI's Caribbean Sea Camp and you will discover the wonders of coral reefs first-hand from experts working to conserve the diversity of life inhabiting the ocean's largest living creature - the coral reef. You will have fun every day exploring the marine environment and also the island's other tropical habitats. Little Cayman is home to the largest breeding population of Red Footed Boobies, an endemic iguana (which can grow to 4.5 ft long), the threatened West Indian Whistling Duck population, and to one of the last spawning aggregations of the Nassau grouper. Each day has a full schedule with three great meals, field trips to the reef, discussions with scientists, fun activities to increase your knowledge of the fish, coral and other life that inhabit a coral reef. By working side-by-side with scientists and marine educators, students take part in ongoing research projects.
Everyday is a new adventure. Students already certified can work on advanced SCUBA skills while learning fundamental conservation techniques every SCUBA diver should know.
What Will You Be Doing?
Students explore Little Cayman Island while:
- Diving on the best coral reefs in the Caribbean.
- Snorkeling in the beautiful shallow lagoon system that surrounds most of the island.
- Kayaking in South Hole Sound, a former port for pirates and ship builders.
