Whale Camp's Mission

Summer Camp is a place for exploration and for inspiration...

A place to get away from the ordinary to discover yourself and the world...
A place to experience the grandeur, serenity and beauty of nature...
A place to feel comfortable, have fun, improve self-esteem and make new friends...
A place to learn in a fun, hand-on way that you just can't do in a classroom...

This is the mission and philosophy of The Whale Camp.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The Whale Camp’s purpose is to increase awareness, understanding and appreciation of the life systems in the oceans and particularly in the Bay of Fundy and to use metaphors from the sea and sea life we help to put human life into perspective. By weaving together direct personal observation of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, puffins and other marine life in their natural habitat; the use of hands-on, discovery-oriented, adventure based marine science activities; and opportunities for personal reflection, metaphoric learning and teambuilding games the Whale Camp provides a deeply meaningful, life-changing, learning experience.

OWNERS AND DIRECTORS:
