What do you get when you merge science exploration and hands-on fun? Find out this summer at Camp Aqua at Shreveport Aquarium. Campers will discover the wonders of the ocean, experience up close animal encounters and go behind the scenes to get up close and personal with sharks, eels, and a host of other sea creatures.
The aquarium will offer three different camps this summer including full-day camps for 6 – 11 year olds and and half-day camps for 4 – 7 year olds.

“Shreveport Aquarium is a great resource for ocean education and conservation,” say Karen Whitehead, Marketing Director. “It is our goal to introduce people of all ages to the wonders of aquatic life to spark compassion and curiosity for conservation and sustainability. Campers are not only going to have a blast in our program, but they are going to learn about things they can do that will have a positive impact on our planet and will be empowered to work toward building a more sustainable future.”
