CEDO's 2012 Wet Feet Ocean Camp is scheduled for June 14-18 for the English language camp and July 2 to 6 for the Spanish language camp. Our Wet Feet camps always create awe and wonder among campers - and they have such a wonderful time, too! Read below to learn about our camper's experiences. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to find registration forms and prices for 2012, including how to make a donation to the Wet Feet Ocean Camp Scholarship Fund. *** To view captions for the photos, just move your cursor over them. The first six photos below can be enlarged by clicking on them. Each year's camp is a unique experience, as weather, tides and the campers themselves all add to the mix of fun, exploration and learning. Campers learn their own talents, discovering the wonders of their natural world while strengthening their abilities to study marine biology, make new friends, work as a team, and develop physical endurance in the outdoors. Campers have the opportunity to test their new-found knowledge and skills in a safe, nurturing environment. Whether the issue is habitat preservation, natural resource conservation, sustainable economies, healthy ecosystems or "what's the slimiest creature in the sea?," campers will be challenged, stimulated and encouraged to express their ideas and opinions while enjoying an adventure of a life time! Don't miss out! Call or email today to reserve your place in this summer's Wet Feet Ocean Camp! Deadline to register is May 25, but camps can "sell out" long before that date!

Information on CEDO's 2012 Wet Feet Ocean Camp Campers will explore the marine biology of the Upper Gulf of California through both field study and hands-on activities. Uncovering brittle stars, nudibranchs, and octopi in the intertidal zone; dancing for shrimp in the estuary; discovering the secrets of different marine organisms that live in this biologically rich area -- these are only a few of the activities in which the campers will participate.   Counselors with experience in marine biology and desert ecology, and trained in First Aid and CPR, will staff the camp. All food and beverages (including purified water) will be provided for campers on site. Campers will have the opportunity to visit downtown Puerto Peñasco and should bring some spending money, but will spend the majority of their time in the field, or at CEDO. Let's get our feet wet!
