Education and Summer Camp 2010

Education @ Florida's Gulfarium
Since its earliest days in the 1950's, education has always been a part of Gulfarium's mission. In 1994, founder Brandy Siebenaler expanded the educational reach of the aquarium by authorizing the creation of the Education Department. Our first splash into education was summer camp. Our camp has slowly grown and gotten better over the years, and so has the Education Department. Current programs include camps, marine science classes, public/home school science programs, lectures, seminars, professional development, and special events.
