Funky Fish Ocean Camp

801 Seabreeze Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Funky Fish Ocean Camp is an award-winning children's day program located at the Bahia Mar Resort in Fort Lauderdale. It provides supervised water sports and marine education for children while parents explore the Florida coast.

Funky Fish Ocean Camp provides a specialized "drop-off" day experience for children and teenagers ages 4 to 17. Based at the Bahia Mar Resort & Yachting Center, the program connects young visitors to the Atlantic through structured activities including professional snorkeling lessons, boogie boarding, and skim boarding. Each day balances physical activity with marine science sessions and eco-friendly art projects like tie-dyeing T-shirts. This camp is an ideal stop for traveling families, allowing parents to enjoy the surrounding Fort Lauderdale beach area while children engage in supervised water sports and oceanology. The program is designed to build confidence in the water, starting snorkeling lessons in the resort pool before transitioning to the shallow ocean to search for fish and shells. The location at 801 Seabreeze Blvd puts the camp directly on the beach, adjacent to the Bahia Mar Marina. While the program is hosted within major area resorts, participation is open to outside guests. Advance reservations of at least 48 hours are required to ensure the program meets its minimum attendance requirements.
