School-year sessions are custom designed for each school group or science club, and there are also family programs and international programs for individuals and families.

SEACAMP instructors are college-degreed, all have a marine science background, and are certified in Lifeguarding, CPR and First-Aid. SEACAMP San Diego’s mission is to supplement traditional classroom learning through hands-on marine science programs that inspire curiosity, exploration, and environmental stewardship for students of all ages, and to provide exciting, innovative, hands-on, and interactive marine education opportunities to students across the country and around the world. SEACAMP San Diego has been providing quality marine science education since 1987 and has provided marine science education to thousands of students and teachers since its founding. SEACAMP’s founder was Mike Yeakle; in 1994, he brought in Phil Zerofski, and in November 1997, Mike and Phil turned over the directorship of the camp into Phil’s hands, and Phil and his wife, Assistant Director Amy Bergen Zerofski, have been running the organization ever since.
SEACAMP San Diego offers an outreach program where instructors attend local schools. The organization holds a California Department of Fish and Wildlife Scientific Collecting Permit, which is required for educational and research institutes to collect or possess wildlife. SEACAMP San Diego was voted best Summer Camp by San Diego Reader in 2024.
Parent, teacher, and chaperone feedback includes comments that kids are still talking about how much they loved SEACAMP, that instructors are excellent and students were very engaged, and that staff are great with both kids and adults. Parents report that their children “had the best time,” “couldn’t stop talking about” their experience, and that the program is “great…especially for kids growing up in land-locked states,” with some noting their children are still talking about their week at SEACAMP.
