Sea-n-Sail Adventure Camp

Registration for Sea-n-Sail Adventure Camp 2020 has begun, and weeks are filling up fast! The Sea-n-Sail Adventure Camp is a day camp that is designed to bring about a greater awareness of The Mississippi Gulf Coast’s original history and maritime heritage through a variety of fun and educational activities. Camp is open to students ages 6–12.

Camp consists of a week of activities including model boat building, fishing, cast netting, swimming, and field trips to places such as the Mississippi Aquarium, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center and the Institute of Marine and Mammal Studies. Seven sessions will be held during the summer: June 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26 (6-8 year olds only), and July 6-10, 13-17, and 20-24. Daily activities will begin at 8 am and end at 4 pm. Campers will be grouped according to age: 6-8 and 9-12 years old. Camp staff for each group will include three counselors who are CPR/First Aid certified.

All Sea-n-Sail Adventure Campers will take two sailing trips aboard one of the Museum’s famous replicas of the Biloxi Schooner. Age group 9-12 will take a full day trip to Horn Island through waters fished by Biloxi fisherman for over 200 years. Campers age 6-8 will visit Deer Island during one of their half day sails and learn about marine pollution. During the sail, campers will learn components of sailing a schooner, boating safety and rules of the road, and participate in many sailing activities.
