Give your child an unforgettable experience of discovery by enrolling them in Seacoast Science Center Environmental Day Camp. With seven different habitats in Odiorne Point State Park to explore, and live animal and hands-on exhibits in the Center to reinforce learning, campers gain a great understanding and appreciation of the natural world around them.
Our camp counselors are skilled educators who know how to excite children about science. Come find out why many of our campers come back year after year, have formed lasting friendships, and have chosen to continue their studies in education and the sciences after their camp experience.
