Catalina Island Marine Institute: Sea Camp

Catalina Sea Camp is more than just a summer camp. Campers age 8-17 participate in extraordinary activities while making life-long friends, in the magical setting of Catalina Island.

Our secluded summer camp is located on a private beach at Toyon Bay on Catalina Island. Two and a half miles by water from the city of Avalon, Catalina Sea Camp is an ideal combination of land and sea for an amazing summer camp experience.

Catalina Sea Camp is an ocean adventure camp that encourages kids to deepen their understanding of marine science. Campers participate in hands-on marine biology activities, and enjoy diving, sailing, exploring the island, and participating in fun traditional camp activities.

Catalina Sea Camp's One-Week Sessions at Fox Landing are a perfect combination of ocean adventure, marine science, and a unique summer experience! Our one-week program is for campers ages 8 - 13.

Catalina Sea Camp’s 2-week program is unique hybrid adventure of our 1-week and 3-week summer camp programs at Fox Landing. This program is a structured ocean adventure and marine science summer camp for campers ages 10-15 that also gives the camper the power of choice. Campers will have the choice to snorkel, sail, learn in our hands on marine science labs, try scuba diving and make true meaningful connections with friends. 

Our older campers ages 12-17 are able to register for a Three-Week Session to spend even more time with friends having island adventures, gaining scuba certifications, and learning to sail at Toyon Bay. Mirroring a university-style experience, campers will provide their activity preferences prior to camp and will attend those activities multiple times during their camp session to build their skills.
