June 29 – July 3 Discovering the Explosive & Exciting World of Marine Chemistry!

Who doesn’t love a fun, messy science experiment?? You’ll get to do plenty of them this week as you transition from a student to a marine chemist! Discover the natural elements that make up the ocean and why they are so important for sustaining the variety of life there. Conduct chemical tests on water samples from different spots around the park, create erupting volcanoes like those we would find in the deep sea, and make your own hagfish slime!

Special Activities

Let’s celebrate our nation’s Independence on Friday, the 3rd of July. Campers will enjoy fun holiday activities as well as a yummy BBQ, snow cones and refreshing crazy. Campers come dressed in Red, White, and Blue!

July 6 – 10 Save the Sea Turtles!  Rallying for the Reptiles of the Sea

Sea turtles are making a comeback! Did you know that, even though they are endangered animals, the population of sea turtles in the United States has increased since the 1970s? Sea turtles face a world full of danger from the day they’re born! Discover the perils that they face and figure out with your fellow scientists if these factors are natural or caused by humans. How can we make the world a safer place for sea turtles? This week, we’ll see how sea turtle biologists care for these amazing creatures and help future turtle generations by releasing newborn hatchlings into the ocean! We’ll also investigate sargassum weed patches, which are the first home for baby sea turtles when they reach the ocean!

Field Trip

Loggerhead Marinelife Center, located in Juno Beach, FL, is a sea turtle research, rehabilitation, education and conservation center.  Campers will learn first hand what it takes to save these gentle creatures of the sea.

This has been the first camp ever that my son didn’t complain about going in the morning, but he did tell me about the friends he made and the things he did. We love this camp!

We are really happy with Camp Live Oak and our daughter Georgia can’t wait for Winter Session!

Loved the fact that the camp worked with me and kept my son very active every day. He definitely wasn’t bored.
