Kids ages 6 to 15 can do a fun, hands-on deep dive into the world of sharks, seals and other marine animals during the 2025 Summer Camp programs of The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. Young campers will explore the wonders of the ocean world through fun stories and games. Older kids will learn how technology and engineering can solve complex environmental problems like water pollution, marine debris, and storm resiliency. Our summer camp program integrates science with art and literature to deepen children’s understanding of animals and the environment. 

At Friends of Rye Nature Center, we believe a deep understanding of and connection to nature starts when we allow our environment to teach us. The Nature Center’s 47-acre forest is so much more than a park. It is the place where we begin to understand our role in our greater ecosystem, how we can shape our future, and why the freedom of the outdoors ignites our imaginations. Our day camp experience provides adventure, ecological exploration, and the ideal opportunity to explore the outdoors. A hands-on approach to scientific inquiry connects everyone to nature through environmental stewardship activities in a fun, relaxed setting.
