 The SEACAMP II program is specifically designed for students looking for an advanced, scientific experience. SEACAMP II is a seven-day program for students that have already attended at least one session of SEACAMP I, either during the school year or in the summer, and are ready for more challenging and self-guided exposure to marine science. Many students choose to build upon their SEACAMP I experience by continuing on to SEACAMP II the following week.
Students will participate in advanced labs and workshops during SEACAMP II. They will delve into the Advanced Invertebrate Lab by probing for living animals among kelp holdfasts in and among mussel beds. The Advanced Fish Lab provides more detailed information and builds on the basics learned in Fish Adaptations. They will learn to use field guides and keys while working with the on-site aquariums. During the week students will develop and complete an Independent Research Project that entails a literature search, field observation and the collection of specimens.
SEACAMP II also takes advantage of the attractions that San Diego has to offer. Students visit the Stephen Birch Aquarium Museum and spend a full day at Sea World San Diego. Students will have the rare opportunity to tour the Scripps Institute of Oceanography research pier, which is not usually accessible to the general public. While visiting some of these world-class facilities, students will have the chance to participate in scavenger hunts and to work on their individual research projects using these terrific local resources.
 SEACAMP II is a water-intensive week. Advanced Oceanography builds on the curriculum of SEACAMP I, and students are given additional opportunities to boogie board. Students will kayak and snorkel from a variety of sites off the shores of the San Diego. These help prepare them for the highlight of SEACAMP II, the boat trip. Students and staff board one of the Horizon Charters' live-aboard dive boats, two of the largest dive boats in Southern California, which are comfortably equipped for many days at sea. The boat cruises through the night and in the morning students awake to find themselves at Santa Catalina or San Clemente Island, the two southernmost Channel Islands. Students who are certified or finishing certification and are 14 years or older will have the opportunity to participate in the SCUBA program. Students and staff live on board for two days of snorkeling, diving, kayaking and other water activities before returning to San Diego.
