Enrollment is OPEN for the 2024 Adult DolphinLab season! Please visit each program's respective web page to complete and submit the online application.
The courses and dates listed below are comprehensive and include ALL courses offered in 2024.
Once enrollment opens, courses are updated weekly to reflect "Open" or "Closed" based on whether spaces are available. A course listed as "Closed" indicates that the course is filled to capacity and applications will be accepted on a stand-by basis only.
Dolphin Research Center's DolphinCamps, Teen DolphinLabs and Adult DolphinLabs offer experiential education at its finest! Spend five to six days learning about and interacting with dolphins, and you'll spend a lifetime remembering the experience!
The classes listed below are open for individual participants. If you are interested in bringing a group to DRC for a DolphinLab outside of the public program dates listed below, please email the Education Department at education@dolphins.org.
You must be within the age range at the time of the program in order to participate in any DolphinCamp or DolphinLab. There are no exceptions.
Some of the summer courses fill quickly, so we recommend applying as soon as possible once enrollment opens. You must submit an application and pay the non-refundable, non-transferrable application deposit to reserve your space. We will not reserve a space based on a voicemail, email, or a stand alone submission of an application. Returning students are not guaranteed a space in a course. Applications are date and time stamped and are reserved on a first come-first served basis. Additionally, returning all required paperwork provided once a class is confirmed to run, and paying the balance of the program by the noted deadline are required to remain enrolled in and to participate in the program.
