Exploreum Summer Camp 2015

For the first ever Exploreum Summer Camp, participants became Marine Explorers! The summer camp is a 3 day learn-through-play experience that stimulates curiosity through memorable activities.

The kids who joined the camp were divided into 3 categories. As this year’s summer camp theme is about Marine Science, the kids were grouped as The Dolphins, The Orcas and The Sharks. The Dolphins were ages 4-6 years old, kids ages 7-9 were The Orcas and The Sharks were kids ages 10-12 years old.

First day of summer camp! Kids were divided into 3 groups; The Dolphins, The Orcas, and The Sharks.

The Exploreum Summer Camp Activities were:

Deep Dark Sea Painting- utilizing glow- in- the- dark paint, the kids made their posters come alive by painting it in the dark!
Away From Home- an activity where the kids fishes out the fishies stuck in slime-o-mania and put them back to where they should be.
The kids also learn about the Marine food web by feeding the marine creatures
Aquarium Secret Message: The participants looked for hidden messages in the aquarium and those who finished the activity got a clue!
Into Deep Treasure Hunt- Kids completed a list by searching in the dark room with minimal light
Water World Obstacle Course- The participants jumped, climbed and crawled to find “EXPLOREUM” letters around the course
Save The Whale- The kids filled the pool with balls to get the whale to roll back to the ocean.

Aside from the things they learned during the 3 day camp, the marine explorers also took home Marine Explorer Kit that includes:

Amazing Race Passes
Take Home Experiment Kits
Exploreum Summer Camp Shirt
Microscope for The Orcas and The Dolphins
Marine Explorer Badge
Spongebob Poster
