If you’re between the ages of 7-12 and want the ultimate summer camp experience, we have a variety of camps for you to choose from! For those of you who LOVE marine mammals, our week long camp Maine Mammal Camps will provide you a full week of fun as you get to know our animals personally. Each fun-filled day is designed around a specific theme, such as seals and sea lions, animal behavior, conservation, training and marine mammal care. You’ll spend time exploring the zoo, visiting the special exhibits, playing training games, creating art projects and enjoying loads of fun at our sea lion pool! Our resident junior trainers are able to feed, interact with and participate in training sessions throughout the week. This camp will be the highlight of their summer!

If your true interest is in animal training and you're between the ages of 10-12, our 2 day Animal Training Camp will immerse you in the training techniques we utilize with our marine mammals. We use positive reinforcement training which will be valuable as you practice and perfect training at home with your own pets! In depth discussions and hands on learning allow kids the opportunity to learn firsthand about marine mammal care, training and conservation.

Younger kids (Sea Lion Explorers ages 7-9) who are not quite ready for a full week of camp have wonderful opportunities to choose from. Our Sea Lion Explorer Animal Behavior Camp gives kids a look into the world of marine mammals as well as the opportunity to gain knowledge and apply it throughout the zoo as we learn about animal behavior, adaptations, and conservation. Kids have fun while learning through exploration!
