Now is the time of year when families sign up their children for STEAM Summer Camps, and many are looking for a unique camp experience. Adventure Camps at Busch Gardens and SeaWorld are just that: These diverse camps let kids get closer than they ever thought possible to exotic animals and encourage lifelong passion for wildlife and the environment.
For more than 40 years, Busch Gardens and SeaWorld have been committed to animal care, wildlife conservation, education and research. Adventure Camps at our parks offer something no other camp experience can offer – the chance to work alongside the best animal care experts in the world for hands-on experience with animal trainers, veterinarians and animal care staff.
SeaWorld and Busch Gardens Adventure Camps are offered at SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa. The programs offer a learning environment that fosters exploration, inquiry, self-discovery and self-esteem with three distinct offerings: traditional “sleep-away” resident camps, day camps and single-night sleepover programs.
Resident Camps
- For 5th graders through college students
- From 3 nights to 2 weeks
- Each Busch Gardens and SeaWorld resident camp offers up-close, hands-on experiences with amazing animals. Resident camps are available for students in grades 5 through college. Camps for younger students offer an engaging combination of animal encounters and time to enjoy all the exciting rides and shows at the parks. Older students can immerse themselves in Career Camps or choose to conquer all the excitement of rides and thrills at Busch Gardens with the “Xtreme Adventures” camp, which includes day trips to SeaWorld and Discovery Cove in Orlando.
Resident campers lodge in on-site dormitories at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. At SeaWorld Orlando, campers sleep in animal attractions right next to beluga whales, manatees and dolphins, or at approved off-site hotels. Camp counselors supervise campers 24 hours a day.
