“So what do you do when camp’s not going on?”

The camp management staff gets asked this question often during the off-season (September – May) and I’ll be honest, things do slow down quite a bit. We can fit in some vacation time or at least just sleep a bit later before coming in to the office. It’s also a time we recap and evaluate how the summer went and think about changes for next year. We’re already starting to plan dates and programs for next year. But there are a few cool camp programs still to come this fall.

SeaWorld Camp In the Fall?

Brittany, our resident camp supervisor still runs 2-4 night group camp programs for school groups and scouts. Plus there is a really cool Parent/Child Adventure Camp a few weekends in the fall in addition to some other Career camp programs for high school and college students.

Our new sleepover supervisors, Hope and Tommy, host schools, families and scouts in sleepover programs throughout the fall. We also have specialized sleepovers during Howl-O-Scream and the holiday season.

Shamu’s Stroller Club

And I shift my focus from 5- to 12-year-olds to 1- to 4-year-olds. Shamu’s Stroller Club is a program we started for 1- to 2-year-olds with a parent this spring and it was very well received this spring. Shamu’s SeaSchool is a similar program for 3-4 year olds with a parent. Each of the two camps have a different curriculum that we run each week. Both programs will be offered Saturdays this fall. Details can be found online, but it’s best to book the programs at the park’s Reservation Center or over the phone at 1-800-700-7786.

So although most of our camp counselors are back in school and not working anymore, there is plenty of work for us to do after the summer’s over.

Thanks and gig em!
