SeaWorld Orlando has two camp programs that are accredited by the American Camping Association - Day Camp and Resident Camp. Day Camp programs are week-long camps designed to educate elementary and middle school students about animals and their habitats at SeaWorld. Resident Camp programs are multi-day, overnight programs designed to immerse middle and high school students in the study of marine science through activities exploring the challenges and rewards of working with animals.

Based on a long-term commitment to education the SeaWorld Education Department strives to provide an enthusiastic, imaginative, and intellectually stimulating atmosphere to help students of all ages reach their academic potential.
