The Aquarium Summer Camps are part of an organization founded in June 1998. The Aquarium of the Pacific’s mission is to instill a sense of wonder, respect, and stewardship for the Pacific Ocean, its inhabitants, and ecosystems. The Aquarium is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). All 2026 camp sessions are fully booked. The Aquarium provides homes to mammals and many birds deemed unable to survive in the wild by government agencies, and all fish and invertebrates come from other zoos and aquariums, are born at the facility, are donated from illegal confiscations, or are collected or bred in a humane and sustainable manner. All animals receive restaurant-quality food and state-of-the-art healthcare.
