Summer Camp Themes:


The Fantastic Four (The Basic Needs)
1st and 2nd Grade Group
How does a penguin stay warm in frigid waters? Why does a Manta ray eat its food up-side down? Every animal meets its basic needs in different ways. Come discover the world of survival with our aquarium super stars. Whether they have fur, feathers, fins, or flukes, learn how important air, food, water and shelter are to all of our friends through an interactive, hands on journey at the Aquarium.

All in the Family
3rd and 4th Grade Group
Sea stars and sand dollars are related, but whale sharks and beluga whales are not. Attend a sea star family reunion and help the whale shark solve its identity crisis! Campers will get up close and personal with our animals and learn how they are related through hands-on investigations and activities.

S.O.S. (Save our Seas): Junior Conservationists
5th and 6th Grade Group
Come discover why conservation of our seas is so important to dolphins, penguins, and other aquatic animals. Learn how the Georgia Aquarium is protecting our world oceans. Explore our innovative conservation efforts through hands on activities, interviews, behind the scenes experiences and much more!

Special Needs Camp

About the Camp
The Georgia Aquarium is pleased to offer a special needs camp this summer. It is a week-long day camp using the world’s largest aquarium to explore the aquatic realm. The curriculum and staff training were developed in partnership with the education program at the Marcus Autism Center. Campers will learn about the animals and their habitats as they explore the galleries at the Georgia Aquarium. Campers will create a travel scrapbook by compiling drawings, journal entries and more, reinforcing their experience by engaging in arts and craft projects, games and other activities.
