SX3 Fish Camp is our program for mature teens and adults who would like to further their knowledge of the marine environment and the flora and fauna on Sanibel and Captiva Islands.
Through Fish Camp, we offer half-day programs from 9:30 to 12:30 and from 1:30 to 4:30. Of course, if you would like to have a full day of learning adventure, you can sign up for a full day. Tuition for Fish Camp is $55.00 for each session. In these programs we offer mini courses on a variety of topics. The listing of Fish Camp courses can be found on the course descriptions page.
We realize that many older people are just as curious and eager to learn as are kids. Many of us are just kids in grown-up bodies. In that spirit, our programs are especially designed to satisfy that sense of curiosity. We utilize the knowledge and experiences of the group to take our education to a higher depth. These courses include field work and seasonal research.
In addition to the subject matter under investigation each day, our faculty is knowledgeable about the geology, natural history and human history of our Sanctuary Island - so each session will thoroughly enrich your understanding of many aspects of Sanibel.

This time of the year we’re focusing on:
Bivalves, gastropods, Sanibel history and natural history, mollusk distribution,, fish seining, exploring the island on Indigo Trail and the Bailey Tract hikes, and exploring mangroves at Blind Pass. |
Take Five
Sanibel Sea School participates in a program called Take Five which encourages participants to take five minutes of their time to collect litter from the natural environment.
Each of our students ‘take five’ to help clean up the environment during our field trips. We incorporate this as a learning tool. We measure and quantify litter to see how much of an impact we have made and better understand what types of materials are most commonly left behind by other users. We also encourage visitors to recycle by asking students to bring in their family’s recyclables while they are visiting Sanibel.
Students who participate are rewarded with an SX3 Trash Free sticker. Each week, we display the growing quantity of recycling and keep a tally on the positive effect our students have had on the island of Sanibel. |
