Vibrantly Teaching Children and Adults About Marine Ecosystems

"My two teens were enrolled in the Coral Reef Snorkeling Sleepaway Camp in the keys, and a kayaking day camp called "Have Paddle Will Survive." Small groups with very attentive counselors that really kept the kids engaged and busy and REALLY looked out for their safety. They loved the camps and had the time of their lives! I cannot say enough good things - the counselors took lots of pics and shared those with the families. I picked up exhausted, happy kids every night."

"As an advocate for nature-based learning for children, I can wholeheartedly say that the Sanibel Sea School teaches children about themselves and nature in a way no classroom ever could. By involving children in hands-on experiences every day at their camp, my son learned so much about the ocean and ocean life. I saw how much the counselors enjoyed interacting with all the kids at camp and sharing their passion for the environment and the ocean with the generations to come. My son learned not only about the ocean but also about himself, which for children ultimately cultivates a sense of overall self-assurance. Something I feel needs to be taught above everything else. I recommend the Sanibel Sea School to anyone who is interested in their kids learning about nature in a fun and safe environment. It’s a wonderful experience they will always remember!"

"My kids have been attending Sanibel Sea School for the last 6 years, and we love everything about it! The counselors are everything you could ask for - fun, energetic, encouraging, knowledgeable, and just plain awesome! My 11-year-old did the Teen Fishing Camp this past week, and he couldn’t stop raving about everything they did each day when I picked him up. He has a new-found LOVE for fly fishing! My 13-year-old got to be a CIT (Counselor-in-Training) for the first time, and he had a blast working with the little ones! My mom heart loved hearing about how he blossomed from the first day of being shy and timid to the end of the week taking initiative and letting his personality shine! Wonderful leadership experience for him. The night snorkel was also a highlight - oh so much fun! Highly recommend this opportunity for kids to experience the ocean with the best tribe around at the beautiful Sanibel Island!"
