Seacamp Facilities
With its beautiful location at Newfound Harbor on
Big Pine Key, SEACAMP offers teenage boys and girls an opportunity
to explore some of the most exciting waters in the Florida Keys, both
in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. They will move among
coral reefs, sandy and grassy areas, mud flats and natural tide pools,
all of them rich in sea plants and animals basic to the study of marine
science. Camp facilities include a dining and recreation hall, science
laboratory, deep water harbor, arts and crafts building, infirmary,
sailing shelter, teaching shelter, commercial kitchen, business office,
staff lounge, and administration offices. Campers and staff are housed
in four dormitories, 16 cabins have tiled baths, nine have an adjacent
showerhouse. Overall, there is one staff member for every three resident
campers. This close relationship makes it possible to encourage individuality
and
provide for small group instruction.
