Homeschool Marine Science Biology Camp

The Homeschool Marine Science Biology Camp with Greg Landry, MS offers a unique opportunity for your kids to be immersed in the world of marine science for a week! These camps give your children the opportunity to breathe, eat, sleep, work, and play marine science… and have lots of fun in the process! They are the perfect opportunity for your outdoor loving kids, as well as those interested in marine biology.

Using the island, beach, and the Gulf of Mexico as our classroom your students will study islands, beaches, marine birds, boats and buoyancy, marine navigation, the climate of bodies of water, tides, light and sound in water, pressure, and temperature in water, extreme marine environments, etc.

These homeschool marine biology camps are led by former college professor Greg Landry, MS. Greg is a husband to his wife of 30+ years, a homeschool dad, and a former college professor. He and his wife homeschooled their two daughters. Both of them have graduated from college. He has a heart for students and a passion for science… but more specifically a passion for teaching students to see God’s hand in every aspect of His creation that surrounds us. His goal is to help them see that God’s creation didn’t just happen by chance – it wasn’t an accident, a fluke of nature.
