Mountain and Sea Educational Adventures (MSA) offers youth camps that study field and marine biology in the most beautiful and complex ecosystems in Southern California.

Choose from Catalina Island, the Giant Sequoia National Forest or the San Gorgonio wilderness areas as a classroom for exciting hands-on education.

Cooperative learning groups teach processes of field and marine biology as campers forge relationships with fellow students and teachers in an intimate learning environment.

Field journals record data observed in numerous habitats and an appreciation for the environment and it's protection expands. Character building and fun recreational activities are intrinsic to all MSA programs. Each location offers something new and exciting:

• MSA's Catalina Island Camp at Emerald Bay teaches kids how to be a real marine biologist - the Pacific Ocean is your classroom for a whole week.
   
• MSA in the San Bernadino mountains is an ideal week-long immersion for students to learn life science and how to survive in the wild.
  
  
• Giant Sequoias envelop the week-long MSA program at Camp Whitsett, where great field science is at your fingertips.
   
  
• The Southern California coast is a great place to learn with MSA! Primary school teachers can chose half-day workshops in tidepooling, invertebrate labs, bird watch/kayak tours, whale watching, and more providing fun and inspirational learning experiences for school field trips. Week-long summer day camps provide parents a fun and stimulating marine introduction for their children.
