During the day, they explore the world of animals by doing up-close, hands-on activities, while having a blast with other campers from around the world. They go behind the scenes to discover how SeaWorld animal experts care for marine animals. Yet there's plenty of time for fun, so they also get to enjoy all the awesome shows, rides, and attractions of SeaWorld San Diego, as well as Southern California.

And don't think camp is just for kids! SeaWorld San Diego's new program for adults who want to experience resident camp is called "Adult Camp Experience". Beginning this fall, adult campers arrive Friday afternoon and stay through Sunday.

Day Camps keep kids busy. Sure, they sing songs, play games, do crafts, and make friends. But at SeaWorld Day Camp, campers also get incredibly close to their favorite ocean animals.

Campers in grades K-12 choose from week-long camp sessions offered all summer long. Even the littlest campers get in on the fun at the popular Pre-Camp SeaWorld program for kids ages 3-4 and their parents. It's a three-day parent-participation camp that's great fun for kids and parents alike.

SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Adventure Camps give campers real-world experiences with amazing animals. Hundreds of campers have returned to SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Adventure Camp year after year. In fact, many campers go on to become SeaWorld and Busch Gardens employees.

New Adventure Camp complex opens at Sea
World San Diego
You've never been to a camp like this before. Waking up nose-to-nose with an endangered Florida manatee. Feeding a giraffe. Snorkeling with stingrays. Stroking a blubbery beluga whale. If you want to get close to awe-inspiring animals, this is the place. SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Adventure Camps offer campers unique up-close, behind-the-scenes, unforgettable animal interactions and zoological expertise unavailable anywhere else in the world. Scheduled to open this summer at SeaWorld San Diego, the newest SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Adventure Camp complex includes dormitories, classrooms, a multipurpose room, outdoor play areas, meal facilities, and its own dedicated food service building.

According to the American Camping Association (ACA), the summer resident camp market is growing and it's projected to continue to grow. SeaWorld San Diego's Adventure Camps have been a sell-out success. But enrollment has been limited by the adventure park's limited areas for sleeping and instruction. That's about to change. Construction of the new camp complex increases summer resident camp capacity by 500 percent and doubles the park's capacity for day campers. Plus, the new facility allows camp programs in the off-season, too, when the dorms and other facilities are also available for groups (YMCA, church groups, scouts, school groups and others) who want to book camp sessions.

Resident Campers get to "live" at SeaWorld. At SeaWorld San Diego, campers spend their nights in the new Adventure Camp dormitory.
