Aqua Snappers (Formerly Aqua Fun)

The Aqua Snappers camp is where children can improve their in-water skills with a day trip to deeper water, while also keeping their "land legs" with a hike around Cooper's Island.  This camp is designed to engage participants in activities and conversations that encourage them to become stewards of Bermuda's unique island ecosystems-both on land and in the ocean.  

During the week campers have the opportunity to take classes with an art teacher and learn from animal interactions and encounters.  (We understand that some children in this camp may be able to swim and snorkel while others may not yet be swimmers.)

*Approximate start time 9:00am and finish time is 3:00pm this will be adjusted by 10 to 15 minutes according to camp scheduling. After Camp Care will be available. 

This camp is open to children born between 2015-2016 (8-9 Years Old)

Aqua Camp Waiver

I understand that there are inherent risks sending my child to Aqua Camps related to the Covid-19 Pandemic. I understand that the BZS will comply with Government protocols related to reducing the transmission of Covid-19 but that these protocols do not eliminate the risk to my child and by extension my family.

I understand that the camp Programme includes field trips that require my child to be transported off the BAMZ facility. Transportation will be arranged in accordance with the Bermuda seat belt law and may include the BAMZ bus, taxis, minibus services or private cars (buses and older cars without seat belts are not required by law to install them). If I am unwilling for my child to travel by these means I agree that I will arrange other transportation to the field trip site or arrange alternate care for my child for the trip duration.

I understand that the camp Programme may include age-specific water-based activities each day at safe swimming / wading locations. Camps for older children may take them snorkelling in deep water.

I understand that the camp Programme may include one or more outings on the BZS vessel Endurance, Callista, or another appropriate vessel.

I understand that some camp activity may include the watching of age-appropriate videos, either as an educational activity that enhances the camp Programme or as an alternative activity in the case of inclement weather.

I understand that, should my child’s behaviour be too disruptive or challenging to manage within the camp group, I may be called to collect him/her.

I understand the BZS reserves the right to use photos taken during Camp in not-for-profit marketing promotions.

I give consent for First Aid trained staff to treat my child for minor injuries.

I agree to sign out my child with his/her teacher before removing my child from the BAMZ premises.

I understand all of the above and that the Bermuda Zoological Society & Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo will endeavor to provide a safe environment for my child. I will not hold the Bermuda Zoological Society & the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo liable for any loss of possessions, personal injury, or illness of my child because of attending Aqua Camp.
