The summer's programs at the Birch Aquarium included day camps to teach children about the ocean world and the amazing marine life that inhabits the sea. Depending on their age groups, which had names such as Sea Slugs and Only One Ocean, they watched animals, explored tide pools and the aquarium and also enjoyed stories, crafts and hands-on experiences with live animals.
