Join EcoVentures Adventure Camp at El Coronado Resort and experience the best kids activities in Wildwood Crest! Sign up for our ocean-themed beach programs by registering directly online. Online registrations can take up to one full business day to process. If you are registering for camp AFTER 5pm the day before your selected start date, and do not receive an email confirmation by 8am the morning of camp, please pick up registration forms at the front desk of the hotel and bring the completed forms with you to camp. You can also arrive to camp early to complete your paperwork but space is very limited. A cheese pizza lunch is provided each day (with the exception of Friday) and we provide water throughout the day. Campers need to wear a bathing suit (except on Friday), and bring a beach towel and suntan lotion. Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page for more information. We strongly suggest that you sign up early to reserve your space!

* FOR CAMP REGISTRATIONS THAT INCLUDE A FRIDAY:

Every Friday, the camp meets directly on-site at the Starlight Fleet dock where we spend a morning deep-sea fishing! Friday camp hours are from 7:15am-12:15pm. While fishing, we utilize the boat as a floating classroom and our instructors teach campers about the fish they catch and how they're adapted to live in the marine environment. Because camp does not convene at El Coronado on Fridays, campers must be dropped off by 7:15am and picked up by 12:15pm at the field trip address listed below. Families are welcome to join us onboard and can pay directly at the boat***. The boat will not wait for late arrivals so make sure you arrive on time!

** Friday Camp Drop-Off and Pick-Up Take Place At:

The Starlight Fleet
6200 Park Blvd - Wildwood Crest - 08260
(click for directions)

***Any family members who want to join the camp during the fishing field trip MUST book their own reservation directly with the Starlight Fleet (609.729.7776) within 48 hours of the field trip to receive the discounted rate. Families who book within a 48 hour window will be charged the standard daily rate.
