One Love.
One Life.
One Ocean.

​Ocean School is an all-outdoors learning program based in San Diego, California. We offer seasonal camps and afterschool programs and private classes that cultivate joy, inspiration, gratitude and connection to our beautiful ocean and natural world.

​

Our mission is to help children connect with their hearts, minds and bodies through the wonders of the ocean, nature and outdoor play. Ocean School is a magical living classroom where we can see, hear, smell and touch the ocean wherever we go. We hold an all-outdoors, screen-free space for children to learn and play in the fresh air, earth and sea; be present and make genuine connections.

​

Our days thoughtfully integrate both unstructured time for children to play freely; take learning into their own hands; space to just be a kid as well as intentional time for group sharing & listening; giving practical instructions for organized games, ocean and outdoor activities; imparting lessons that always encourage a deeper awareness, love and connection to self, each other, the ocean and environment.​ We support kids’ physical, mental and emotional health through connection to ocean and nature, joyful movement, mindfulness and breathing, creative and expressive arts, collaborative activities and learning through play.

​

Everything that we learn about ties back to the ocean, the interconnectedness of all life, and viewing ourselves as unique expressions that make the world more meaningful. Every day we cultivate love, creativity, respect, honesty, kindness, equality, mindfulness, and compassion for ourselves, our community, nature and all living beings. At Ocean School, we remember our oneness: one love, one life, one ocean!
