Sea Turtle Camp, Wilmington

My son joined the Marine Biology Adventure camp in July. He didn't know anyone going into the camp but made fast friends by the end of the week. He learned so much and was able to interact with turtles and other sea life. There were plenty of activities to give the campers a real-life view into the day and life of a marine biologist. The best part was not having a phone or other distractions, as I felt it allowed the group to connect and be present. Plenty of pictures were posted on social media so you could see how the week was going. My son is looking forward to future Sea Turtle Camp and would highly recommend the program.

This was my sons second summer at STC. He did open water scuba and advanced open water scuba. He absolutely loves it!! Not only does he get to learn about marine biology, conservation, and earn scuba certifications, he gets to make new friends! I had a chance to experience the true hospitality of STC this year. My sons flight was canceled due to staffing issues at the airline. STC took care of my son for the evening and brought him back to the airport for his flight the following morning. I can not be more thankful and impressed! It helps to ease my mind knowing how well he is cared for by the camp. My son is already excited about the next 2 summers at STC! Highly recommend!!

My daughter had a great experience. The staff was communicative, friendly & kept the kids busy with fun and educational activities. I think the two biggest compliments that came from my daughter were: 1) I did not miss my phone and being offline for a week. :) 2) I had a blast, made new friends and wish that Sea Turtle Camp was two weeks. :)

Great 1st time experience for my 16 year old. I was unsure about the no phone policy, but the camp kept them busy and posted plenty of pictures daily. Very organized, very clean, staff had great communication with the parents. She had a great time. She said the food was delicious, she made new friends, received community service hours and has finally decided what she wants to do when she graduates! It's been 2 weeks and she is still talking about it. Would definitely recommend and can't wait til next year!

My daughter loved camp, her group and counselors. She thought the activities were great and really enjoyed every aspect. As a parent, it would be nice to see more regular and consistent pictures posted, but understand staff is limited too :)
