Amanyara’s partnership with the renowned Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science (Frost Science) in Miami continues with the resort’s youth activity program, Science Explorers and Environmental Keepers (SEEK). Located in Miami, the world-leading museum is dedicated to sharing the power of science, sparking wonder and investigation, and fueling innovation for the future.
Each camp takes place at Amanyara, with programmes tailored for children aged between five and ten, as well as for teenagers aged between eleven and fourteen. SEEK camps will focus on three primary themes: Coastal Conservation, Reef Rescue and Sun, Moon and Stars, with hands-on science activities and “out in the environment” guided experiences, such as kayaking and snorkelling led by Frost Science Educators.
REEF RESCUE Wednesday 30 June – 5 July & Wednesday 7 – Monday 12 July 2021
The pristine reefs of Northwest Point Marina National Park are some of the regions most diverse - a vibrant underwater wonderland running parallel to Amanyara's secluded beach. Children will dive into the science of corals and other marine life located right off Amanyara, including turtles, rays and fish. Activities will include snorkelling or kayaking, building a coral reef and developing a unique "Save the Reef" campaign that celebrates biodiversity.
The SEEK camp will be offered during this week, with a flexible daily drop in atmosphere. Seeking Future Science Explorers Daily rate per child: USD 95 + 27% tax and Environmental Keepers Advance Reservations are suggested. Please contact Christina Rigby Email: [email protected] Reef Rescue
