Dolphin Point Villas, Key Largo's newest paradise getaway, and Dolphins Plus Bayside, the premier marine mammal facility in the Florida Keys, have partnered to give families the ultimate summer vacation experience. From July 9 – August 10, excluding the week of July 30, Dolphins Plus will host its weeklong marine science “Dolphin Kids” summer camp and are offering families ways to save while enjoying their own fun at Dolphin Point Villas next door.

Parents can book a five-night stay at Dolphin Point Villas and enjoy a free week of Dolphins Kids summer camp for one child. For children already enrolled in the camp, parents can book four nights and get a fifth night free.

Dolphin Kids is geared towards children ages 6-10 and will teach campers about marine science through fun hands-on activities, behind the scene tours, coastal exploration, and more. Summer activities for campers will focus on all sorts of topics, from local ecosystem ecology to dolphin communication and behavior. Daily themes include “Coral Reefs, Mangroves and Seagrass Beds”, “Marine Mammals of the World”, “Marine Mammal Behavior and Training”, “The Florida Everglades”, and “Ocean Conservation”, with a special Dolphin Kids Show on Friday to end the experience.

“Dolphins are complex mammals with so many incredible traits most children don't know, and it's our mission to share this knowledge through our summer camp program,” says Art Cooper, Director of Dolphin Point Villas. “Throughout the weeklong session, kids will gain insight on how intelligent and intuitive these animals really are.”

While the kids are enjoying their time at camp, parents can relax by the pool or take advantage of the many activities that can be arranged for guests like scuba diving, paddle boarding, or even a private couple's massage. Dolphin Point Villas is conveniently located right next door to the Dolphin Kids Summer Camp, allowing parents to enjoy their own fun knowing their kids are in safe hands and just a short walk away.

“The Dolphin Kids summer camp combines two things we love- hospitality and marine life,” says Mike Borguss, Director of Operations, Dolphin Point Villas. “Our hope is that in one week we can teach kids enough to be lifelong lovers and supporters of ocean life and dolphins in particular.”

Camp fees are $300 per student/week and include a personalized stainless steel water bottle, canvas bag, training whistle, snacks, and pizza party on Friday. Several upgrades are also available for an additional charge, including early and late care and a special Shallow Water Dolphin Interaction Program held on Friday for $125 per student.

Summer camp hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For Dolphin Kids summer camp enrollment or additional information, call (866) 860-7946, or visit https://www.dolphinsplus.com/dolphin-swim-programs/dolphins-plus-dolphin-summer-camp.
