Kids' Adventure and Exploration Camp
Island Discoveries believes the natural curiosity and energy of
kids is the ideal key to learning and playing. Our program provides a
focus for their exploration of ideas. The resort property and the island
provide a living laboratory. Add a staff trained to draw on the strengths
of your children, the environment and the fun of exploration, and you have the
Kids' Adventure and Exploration Camp. Your children will play their way
through marine biology, ecology, biology, history and physical education.
The BIBR camp has 44 acres of animals, flowers, trees, palms, ants, parrots,
hummingbirds, fruit trees plus a 450' beach with a natural barrier reef, lagoon,
grasses and tidepool habitats. A bird park, botanical touch and taste
garden, petting zoo and dolphin encounters are within a short walking distance.
Each day has a special exploration focus with plenty of time for swimming,
snorkeling, and playing on the beach.

Families can select from the full or
halfday program either by the day or by the week. Kids meet the camp
leaders each morning at 8am. Parents go diving, and when the
boat returns, the kids join their parents for lunch. Those kids in
the full day program rejoin the leaders at 1pm and continue to explore the
island until 4pm (usually the return time for the parent's afternoon
dives.) Parents are welcome to join their children in the
camp. The times on the above schedule are approximate. We
tailor the events to you children's interests. If they aren't
finished with an activity, we may run late.
