Summer Eco-Camp

Every July, the DBML is abuzz with activities due mainly to the young participants in our Summer Eco-Camp. Each year the youngsters are treated to three weeks (one week per age class) of exciting, fun-filled and environmentally-focused educational activities, based on a chosen theme. We provide campers with the opportunity to learn more about the marine environment through talks, video presentations, hands-on activities, experiments, games, and field trips. Campers can also swim or snorkel at dockside.
