Whale Camp's Mission

Dennis and Orma Bowen started the Whale Camp in 1984. It was their dream to use the natural beauty, charm and mystique of Grand Manan Island and the rich marine science resources in the Bay of Fundy as an outdoor experiential classroom to provide many of the missing elements of traditional education. They designed the Whale Camp's marine science programs to be a truly hands-on, fun, experiential learning adventure.
Sadly, Dennis passed away in June 2014. Orma and the Whale Camp staff are dedicated to carrying out Dennis’ vision and continue to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the all the aspiring adventurers and marine scientists that pass through their doors. Dennis inspired countless campers and educators over the years, his passion was infectious and there are undoubtedly former campers all over the globe educating, researching, exploring and carrying out Dennis’ legacy.
