What Is Aqua Camp?
Aqua Camp is a unique, 4-day immersive experience created exclusively for Arizona ESA and homeschool students who crave hands-on learning, connection, and discovery. Set at the stunning Lake Pleasant Desert Outdoor Center and Scorpion Bay Marina, this camp blends science, adventure, and social growth. With a focus on marine ecology, water safety, and outdoor exploration, campers gain critical life skills while building friendships and confidence. This isn’t just camp—it’s a launchpad for curiosity, resilience, and lifelong memories.

We maintain a 1:5 ratio for our youngest campers (ages 5-7) and a 1:8 ratio for older children (ages 8-12), exceeding industry standards to ensure proper supervision.
Our staff is trained to manage common allergies and medical conditions. We collect detailed health information during registration and create individual care plans when needed. All medications are stored securely and administered by designated staff.
We assess swimming ability on the first day and group children accordingly. Non-swimmers receive extra attention, use appropriate flotation devices, and participate in gentle skill-building activities in shallow water under close supervision.
All staff complete a comprehensive training program covering water safety, first aid, CPR, emergency procedures, child development, and behavior management before camp begins.
