So, no matter where in the world you may be, you can travel to our Miami home – without having to leave the comforts of your home. Let the adventures of Acqualina begin!
Acqualina’s marine biology-inspired children’s program, AcquaMarine, is renowned for its fun and innovative, hands-on activities. Here, our camp counselor Regis creates a cool shark craft inspired by our Feisty Fish marine theme, one of 7 unique ocean themes as part of Acqualina’s camp curriculum. This craft is fun to do with your little ones.

As a camper attending AcquaMarine, Feisty Fish day provides an interactive learning approach brought on by creativity and curiosity with a focus on lionfish and piranhas. Kids will learn interesting facts through a variety of online learning tools and arts and crafts including that there are 15 different species of lionfish and the most common is the red lionfish. While piranhas are known for their large triangular teeth and some are even kept as pets in South America. They will make their own, “What I know, What I wonder and What I learned” chart. After, children will make their way to Acqualina’s great outdoors to play a game of invasive species tag. Kids will take home lionfish recycled water bottle creations and piranha crafts and be filled with an abundance of knowledge about the world of Feisty Fish.
Check back for more episodes and share your creative projects with us so we can all be together at this time through #AcqualinaLearning #Acqualina.
