NEW CAMP ALERT: MARINE BIOLOGY CAMP!

Texas 4-H Center is excited to announce that we are partnering with SeaWorld- San Antonio this summer. We will be having a 5-day 4-night camp on the SeaWorld Campus. We invite campers to explore different perspectives and their own personal limitations through unique experiences as they broaden their knowledge of ecology. We strive to inspire a passion and joy for the natural world through experiential learning, human and animal interactions, and self-discovery. Ultimately, we hope that campers will create connections that foster personal growth, stewardship, and an awareness of how their actions can play a part in protecting the world’s oceans. This is an awesome opportunity to get your feet wet with marine biology!
