Marine Ocean Explorers
Summer Camp
(Half Day)
Summer Camp
Aug 24 to 28 (9 a.m. to 12 p.m.)
Comox Marina
Kids 5-10
Campers dive into ocean exploration through hands-on scavenger hunts, art activities, and creative challenges inspired by marine life and our Salish Sea.
A Love of Ocean Creatures is the Only Thing Needed for Fun
This half-day camp blends outdoor discovery with art, and teamwork as kids investigate tides, sea creatures, and ocean mysteries in an active, engaging learning environment.
My daughter loved experimenting with dry ice by the beach. What’s spectacular are the camp locations. She also loved the flexible schedule which gave campers time to explore things they were interested in.

Ocean Explorers
Art, Games and Scavenger Hunts!
Ocean Explorers is a playful week for campers who love animals, stories, and hands-on fun. We’ll dive into ocean-themed games, crafts, and simple science experiments—plus scavenger hunts and team challenges that keep kids moving and laughing.
Each day is a mix of making and exploring: sea-creature creations, beachy art projects, and little “missions” that feel like an adventure. Campers will head home proud of what they made and excited for the next day’s ocean quest.

Kids Get Mail!
Kids get mail before camp inviting them into that weeks theme and the world we create at Kaper Kids' Camps.
Adventure Time!
We may begin with relaxing art but we don't stay that way! Scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, mystery adventures are the daily goal!
We loved Crystal’s Van Gogh camp last summer. Crystal is a fun and enthusiastic instructor! She is organized, creative and has lots of cool art supplies to use.
We loved solving the mysteries and playing outside. Thanks for one of the best summer camps ever!

Things You Might Be Wondering
How Much does it Cost?
A week of camp is $175
Why do you only take 12 Kids per week?
Groups are intentionally kept small to support focus, connection, and collaboration. This allows for more individual guidance and a smoother experience.
What if my child is anxious, shy, or needs extra support?
Many kids thrive here because the structure is clear, the activities are purposeful, and the group stays small. If your child benefits from specific support (e.g., transitions, sensory needs, anxiety), please contact me before camp so we can plan for success. crystal@kaperkids.com.
What does a typical day look like?
Each day includes a mix of hands-on making, puzzle/mystery challenges, movement breaks, and guided collaboration. Kids rotate between activities so they stay engaged, have time to reset, and always know what’s coming next.
My child has allergies — what do we do?
If your child has allergies or dietary needs, please include details during registration. I can accommodate many common needs.
As an allergy parent myself, I understand the concern of sending your kid to a new environment. Please email me at crystal@kaperkids.com ahead of time.
What should my child bring/ Wear?
Please send:
A water bottle
Lunch + snacks
Weather-appropriate outdoor gear – we are outside rain or shine
Sunscreen – please apply before attending and we will reapply at lunch time
- Clothes that can get messy or stained we often do art or do experiments
Meet CRYSTAL
I’ve always loved kids who think a little differently—probably because I’m one of them.
I created Kaper Camps to give kids a place to not only have adventures but to sneak math and reading into their summer time fun. Without them even realizing they are still learning - All Summer Long!
