BSA Aquarist class at the Pennington Marine Science Center (an aquarium building with sharks, fish, etc.) and taught about how to take care of an aquarium. Emerald Bay is the only weeklong summer camp anywhere that teaches the class, so it was a good opportunity. We prepared aquariums with filtered water and scenery, and then spent the remainder of the week catching fish and crabs in Doctor's Cove by tidepooling and snorkeling.

The aquarist program teaches Scouts small and large scale aquarium management. Scouts will monitor their own tanks as well as learn how the system in the center operates. Scouts will receive an education about what it takes to be a professional aquarist.

Only offered at Emerald Bay!
