Using the ocean as our classroom, we inspire children to learn.

Dana Point, CA
Ocean Institute's campus is located at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, adjacent to a Marine Conservation Area as well as a natural headland. Over 100,000 K-12 students and 6,000 teachers annually participate in the Institute's award-winning field programs.
The Institute immerses students in the ocean environment. To learn maritime history and literature, students spend an entire night aboard the tall ships Pilgrim or Spirit of Dana Point- each student hauling lines, hoisting sails, and standing night watch. To learn oceanography, students voyage onto the ocean to feel and taste the salty sea spray, sort through live specimens, observe migrating whales and collect scientific data.
