Overview
Floating Sea Camp is a branch of Mountain and Sea Adventures (MSA), and is the most adventurous and educational overnight family and youth camp experience in southern California.
We depart from Los Angeles Harbor and set our heading directly for Catalina Island. Upon arriving at this ecological paradise, we immediately begin immersing ourselves in the fascinating world of marine biology and natural sciences. You enjoy daily activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, plankton trawls, microscope labs, hiking and stargazing!
Bring your family together while enjoying a cherished natural treasure of California!
Environment
Our captain, staff and crew all work on the island teaching environmental science to students during the school year for our parent company Mountain and Sea Adventures. This means you receive a very knowledgeable and seasoned group of naturalist instructors as your personal guides during your summer experience!
Family
We offer both youth and families the opportunity to live on board a fully equipped marine research vessel and experience adventure and education as you explore the very best of Santa Catalina Island. Enjoy kayaking, surfing, scuba diving and snorkeling at some of the most desirable locations in North America!
Character
We are committed to building character in youth and structuring the opportunity for kids of all ages to develop a deep personal love and appreciation for the marine environment. We teach preservation through appreciation, and inspire the future generations to protect that which they love through total hands-on immersion!
