Ocean Forest Odyssey
Ever wonder what mysteries lay beneath the ocean surface? Jump in and explore the underwater world first-hand with mask and snorkel, observing the diversity of life in the nearshore habitats of Monterey Bay. Then, experience the soothing rhythm of life in the ocean forest as you glide over the kelp forest canopy by kayak. A visit to the tidepools will allow you to investigate the creatures that live at the edge of the sea. Plankton studies, fish printing and algae pressing will round out your study of kelp forest life. Campers must be able to swim.
Activities: snorkeling (2 days), kayaking, algae pressing, gyotaku, tidepooling, plankton studies, boogie boarding, marine debris exploration
Location: Lover's Point with a 1 day drop off/pick up at Del Monte Beach

Observe marine mammal lifestyles from a kayak tour around the Monterey harbor, dig for critters in the sandy beach ecosystem, search nooks and crannies for invertebrates, and spot birds with binoculars- every day brings a new animal into focus! Get into the action by hopping on a surfboard and spending some time being a marine animal as well! Meet some local mammal experts and participate in conservation activities that show us how humans can work to protect these wonderful creatures who call the bay home. Campers must be able to swim.
