Camps and Programs

At Ocean First, teaching our students to be strong, confident swimmers is just the beginning! We offer a variety of exciting avenues for students to take their swim skill and love of water to the next level. As the saying goes "all water leads to the ocean,” and we have created our camps and programs to serve that theme. Prior offerings have included swim stroke training, snorkeling, freediving, scuba diving, mermaid experiences, marine science lessons, water safety, ocean-themed crafts, and more!

We look forward to showing students how fun it is to explore and learn about the ocean and hope we can motivate them to protect it. We can’t wait to grow our community of ocean enthusiasts! Check out our current program offerings below.
