Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was over? All the magic suddenly seemed to fade at once.
Long Beach’s Aquarium of the Pacific has something special for kids, to keep that magic going.
On January 2 and 3, they’ll offer “Winter Day Camp” for young participants, ages 7 to 12.

From 8:00 am to noon, both days, campers get to learn about marine life through activities, games and crafts. Kids can meet members of the Aquarium’s animal husbandry staff, go behind the scenes at the Aquarium, and even help to care for some of the animals in residence.

Behind-the scenes animal viewing, games and animal touch are among the activities listed on the Aquarium’s webpage. So are games, a daily craft and a winter camp journal.

Day One of Winter Day Camp, on January 2, will focus on “Cold Water Habitats”, while Day Two is all about “Polar Bears and Penguins”.
And you’re invited to enroll your young Christmas vacationers for one more gift they’ll enjoy–after Christmas and into the New Year.
Aquarium of the Pacific’s “Winter Day Camp” happens Thursday and Friday, January 2 and 3, 2020, from 8 am to noon. Cost is $100 per child, and $75 for Aquarium members. Here’s the link for information.
