Sea Turtle Camp

Sea Turtle Camp was founded to offer youth the opportunity to learn about marine biology through immersive, hands-on, feet-wet experiential education. Our mission is to cultivate a love and respect for the ocean by building confidence and developing character, while inspiring coastal conservation through safety, fun, and learning!

Sea Turtle Camp is a family owned company, which means we're funded only by our own achievements. We also know that when it comes down to it - no matter what kind of difference we want to make as a company, and no matter how much you share those values - if our camps are not both educational and exciting, we're not living up to our fullest potential.

Missy from Gurnee, IL - I had the time of my life at Sea Turtle Camp. My favorite part was the nest excavation. It was a dream come true to see turtle hatchlings. I have learned so much about marine biology. It was so cool meeting people who share the same interest in turtles as me. The counselors made the experience so much fun for all of us.
