Registration for Winter Camp at Sanibel Sea School
Sanibel Sea School’s 2018 Winter Camp programs will be all about the sun and the moon and how closely they are tied to the ocean and its creatures.
The pair of week-long camps is planned to coincide with winter break, and the schedule will offer a combination of Sanibel Sea School holiday traditions, science, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities.
During Powered by the Moon Week, participants will explore gravity and tides, learn about how the lunar cycle affects various ocean inhabitants, and go moon gazing together. Powered by the Sun Week will be all about the sun’s energy and how it supports life on the planet. Dive in to photosynthesis, talk about some sunbathing marine species, and even make your own solar s’mores.
It would not be Winter Camp without a few traditions, so there will also be hot chocolate, ocean caroling and the annual Give Your Worries to the Sea ceremony.
Camps are open to ages 6-13, with a Counselor In Training program for ages 13-18 to practice their leadership skills. Registration opens on Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. via sanibelseaschool.org/sanibel-camps.
The Sanibel Sea School is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the ocean’s future, one person at a time. For more information, visit sanibelseaschool.org or call 239-472-8585.
