PRESS RELEASE

The whales are returning from their winter birthing sites in the warm tranquil waters of Baja Mexico to the rich plankton waters of the Bering Sea in Alaska. What other mammal do you know of that travels nearly 12,000 miles each year to bear their young? As the water begins to warm and gentle south swells appear, it is time to plan for the approaching summer.

Ocean Adventure Programs mission is to make learning a Whale of an Adventure. Jeff Nelsen’s Ocean Adventure Programs offer 5 different summer programs. Ocean Adventure Science Camp, Minnows Science Camp for the young scientist, Skateboard Camp, Art Camp and Girls Vibrant Yoga. All camps are morning activities and conclude with an afternoon spent at the beach: snorkeling, swimming, learning ocean safety and exploring the unique tide pools.

Erik with his 23 years of surf camp experience will teach your child the basics of surfing and ocean safety.
