REEF Ocean Explorers Single-Day Summer Camps will immerse campers in an ocean of learning and fun. Explorers will be exposed to the natural world of the Florida Keys and all of its amazing creatures during weekly programs filled with creative activities and adventures. Camp will include snorkeling, kayaking, science activities, special visits, and other outdoor adventures.

Summer Single-Day Camp sessions are held on recurring Wednesdays throughout the summer. Each week will feature a different ocean theme. Sessions are open to children ages 7-13.

In celebration of our third annual Fish Out of Water 5K taking place June 6-12, we're teaming up with Florida Keys Brewing Company to host an ocean-themed trivia night. No running is necessary - just gather a group of friends, choose a trivia team name, and come share your knowledge! You can also pick up this year's limited-edition 5K shirt by registering in person or making a donation to support the event.
