Seacamp 57th Reunion
& Celebration of Life for Grace and Caroline
We look forward to having family, friends, and alumni join us here at Seacamp for our 57th anniversary celebration! Unfortunately, we were unable to celebrate the 55th anniversary due to COVID and Hurricane Irma, but we are ready now! Please share this with others who you know will be interested in participating and who may not be on our mailing list. Please register before September 1st so that we can have a better idea of how many people we need for food, housing, etc. While meals and housing do have fees, attending the events do not. We encourage you to donate to one of our campaigns instead to help Seacamp continue its mission.

Please read the information below and click the link below for a schedule of events.

Reunion Schedule

Boating, Diving, Fishing

We will provide snorkeling trips on the flattops to a variety of sites. Seacamp’s kayaks, paddleboards, Corcl's, and windsurfers will be also available for use. All activities will be in 2-3 hour blocks in the morning and afternoon and will be weather dependent. Signups for each activity will be held right after the meal that precedes the activity. We would greatly appreciate donations for fuel and maintenance costs of equipment, but it is not required to participate.

PFDs: Children under 10 years of age are welcome to join the fun, but may only be on board the vessels and enter the water on a 1-to-1 basis with an adult. All guests will be expected to wear personal flotation devices (PFD’s) while the Seacamp vessels are underway and to wear snorkel vests when in the water. Seacamp will only be able to provide PFD’s for children weighing more than 55 lbs. If you plan to take a child that weighs less than this on a Seacamp vessel, please bring your own size appropriate U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD.

Boats: Staff boats (birds) will not be available for check out. You may use Seacamp’s boat ramp to launch your own boat, however, we ask that you remove your boat after use since dock space is limited. Also, due to the number or cars coming and going on the property, boats on trailers must be stored off Seacamp property.

Equipment: Snorkel gear and fishing rods will be available to borrow. There will be no SCUBA diving trips or gear offered by Seacamp, but private trips can be arranged through local dive shops.

Meals
Seacamp will be serving meals, buffet style, from Friday dinner through Sunday brunch. Saturday dinner will be a catered cuban-style meal with key lime pie. All meals are free for children under the age of 18.

Housing

Housing at Seacamp will be limited and will be assigned on a first paid first served basis. Limited space is available for guests to bring personal boats and RV’s to camp, please confirm with us before bringing them. Two types of housing are offered, Family Bunk Rooms (for at least one adult and one child) or Singles Bunk Rooms (guests of the same sex will be assigned a bunk). We have electric and water hookup's for 4 RV's but no sewer connection is available. Please contact us if you would like to stay before or after the main event dates. If you are staying in our dorms, remember to bring your own linens and that the rooms have bunk beds and are cooled by the wind and fans (no AC).

We will try to accommodate as many alumni on property as possible, but expect that hotels/motels, rented homes or Bed & Breakfasts will be more suitable for some families. For further information, the Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce is a good resource. The Monroe County Tourism Development Council (www.fla-keys.com) has good links to visitor resources throughout the Keys.

Update 8/20/22: Family Bunk Rooms are currently all booked. If you can't find another housing option, email us and we may be able to fit you in.

Pets
No pets allowed at Seacamp for this event.

Silent Auction
