This summer, let your little adventurer experience the magic of the sea at Pirates & Mermaids Discovery Camp! Designed for ages 4–7, this camp is a whirlwind of creativity, teamwork, and exploration. From crafting treasure maps to building pirate ships, each day promises thrilling adventures where campers can dream, play, and learn together.
🏴☠️ What Awaits Your Little Explorer?
🌟 Treasure Map Design
Campers will create their own treasure-filled journeys, complete with winding rivers, hidden caves, and mysterious landmarks. This activity is perfect for sparking their imaginations while teaching basic map-making and problem-solving skills.
⚓ Build Pirate Ships
Working together, campers will design and construct pirate ships from recyclable materials, testing their creations to see if they can withstand the open waters. Will their ship float or sink? They’ll use science, engineering, and creativity to find out!
🎨 Mermaid Crown Crafting
Unleash their inner artist by designing sparkling mermaid crowns. Campers will use gems, glitter, and more to create wearable masterpieces that shine as brightly as their creativity.
🚶♂️ Walk the Plank
Balance, bravery, and teamwork come into play as campers navigate a thrilling “walk the plank” challenge. This activity hones their coordination and confidence while keeping the fun alive!

- Recyclables like plastic bottles, cardboard, and aluminum foil
- String or tape
- A container of water (bathtub, sink, or bucket)
How to Build:
- Design: Sketch your ship or imagine its design. What materials will make it float?
- Build: Assemble the ship using natural and recyclable materials. Add creative touches like a mast or sail!
- Test: Place the ship in water to see if it floats. Can it carry small treasures like coins or pebbles?
- Improve: If it sinks, modify your design and try again!
