Join us for Mote Day Camps all year long!
Each session combines our groundbreaking research with fun, hands-on, and age-appropriate, inquiry-based activities. Campers can discover the wonders of marine animals and environments studied by Mote scientists—a great way to gain steam in STEM education even when school is out. Camp Policies

Day Camps
Come celebrate summer with Mote! This week Mote is offering camps everyday to explore the wonders of Mote Science Education Aquarium. From legends of the deep to ocean technology, each day will be filled with fun STEM-based activities, aquarium exploration, and fun-filled memories! Sign up for one, two, or all days to learn about Mote research and the wonders of the ocean.
Monday June 29 – Tales from the Deep
Ocean monsters, myths and mysteries solved! Campers will learn about various historically reported sea “monsters” and the scientific truths behind the animals that were often misunderstood in these stories.
Tuesday June 30 – Ocean Wanderers
One drop of ocean water can contain millions of tiny organisms! Campers will explore the vast world of plankton, learn about their unique and sometimes wacky adaptations, and better understand their importance to our planet.
Wednesday July 1 – ArtSEA
Celebrate the A in STEAM with ArtSEA! Campers will learn about the many ways art is used in science, get inspired by our resident sea creatures, and then create their own fin-tastic creations!
Thursday July 2 – Ocean Deep Dive
Submarines, gliders and other submersibles allow scientists to study animals and ecosystems found deep below the surface. Campers will learn about Mote’s underwater robots and some of the fascinating discoveries they have made.
Friday July 3 – School is Cool
Schools, pods, shoals and herds: just like classes and clubs at school, ocean animals gather together to live and learn. Campers will explore the dynamic interactions in various kinds of animal groups and how they work together to thrive.
