The Living Coast Discovery Center

A few years ago I wrote a post about the Chula Vista Nature Center.  The twins were about 18 months at the time ... wow time has flown by, I can't believe they'll be 6 in a couple of months.

Anyway, three days this week they attended Shark Bites summer camp at the same location.  Only it's no longer called the Chula Vista Nature Center, it's now the Living Coast Discovery Center.  It's still just as amazing as it was back then, and although the kids couldn't remember having been there before, after the first day of camp I showed them the photos and they were amazed that they were seeing some of the same things.

The camp was beyond fabulous, they experienced so much during the three afternoons they were there.  I've got a few photos to share, but here's a short summary of what they did during camp:

  • Hand fed stingrays
  • Touched marine life such as horn sharks, sea stars, horn shark eggs, rays, and a sea urchin
  • Did lots of arts and crafts
  • Collected plankton to view under a microscope
  • Played games
  • Watched sharks being fed
  • Learned all about the sea life and food chain.
  • Dissected a fish
  • Took a behind the scenes tour and even saw a baby octopus
