Boldly Different

No other marine biology summer camp or marine science camp offers as many direct face-to-face encounters to closely observe and study whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and puffins in their own natural habitat.  Board our research vessel for unmatched examinations of marine life.  Help collect data to document whale distribution, feeding and behavioral patterns.  Gain hands-on experience using onboard marine biology equipment. Unveil the powerful and endangered processes of life in the sea. Explore beaches, coastal trails and fishing villages. Investigate life in the tidal pools and bogs. While some programs teach you about marine biology with lots of time in a classroom, we take you out to sea at least two days each week to directly encounter the whales and other marine life for the best marine science experience. This is why the Whale Camp is the place where inspiration, exploration and discovery abound.  This is why, of all marine biology camps and marine science programs, the Whale Camp is the best experience.

Whale Camp is featured as 1 of 10 Summer Camps “Worth the Money” by MSN Money.com

If you’ve already experienced The Whale Camp program, the article is not news to you. Still it’s great to be recognized and the confirmation by MSN Money that The Whale Camp is one of ten camps that are “Worth the Money” is a welcomed endorsement.

Whether, for you, it’s the time at sea documenting the feeding and social behaviors of the numerous whale species or being on Machias Seal Island observing thousands of puffins and razorbills feeding their chicks, you know the value of The Whale Camp. It’s in your heart and in your mind and nothing can dislodge it.

These experiences are irreplaceable. At Whale Camp, as we learn about the processes of life in the sea we help each other put our own life’s path into perspective. The tides of the Bay of Fundy surge through us and empower our daily investigations, discoveries and inspirations, like nutrition for the mind, heart and soul. Of course it’s “Worth the money.” What is money worth if not for experiences like this?
