Founded in 1966, Seacamp, the first program dedicated to the education of youth in marine sciences, is the result of a cooperative effort of parents, scientists, businessmen, and camp leaders. Wise conservation practices and a respect for the marine environment are at the core of the Seacamp philosophy.

Seacamp's tropical location on Newfound Harbor in the lower Florida Keys enables campers to participate in a truly one-of-a-kind marine studies program. Campers investigate the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, moving among clear blue waters, coral canyons, sandy and grassy areas, mud flats, and natural tide pools—all teeming with invertebrates, fish, and mammals. This gorgeous site is also conducive to non-science-related activities such as sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, scuba diving, and other aquatic pursuits.
