Our experience with Kids Sea Camp has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a family that values travel and exploration, especially in connection with nature and the ocean, we sought something unique to foster a sense of adventure, learning, and togetherness. Kids Sea Camp not only met these expectations but has exceeded them in every imaginable way. Kids Sea Camp family diving vacations have given us something extraordinary—the gift of shared memories, deep friendships, and an appreciation for the marine world we carry wherever we go.
Our daughter, Greyson, has developed a profound connection to the ocean and an evolving love for aquatic life, largely thanks to Kids Sea Camp. As any parent can attest, watching your child find their passion is one of the most rewarding experiences. Over the years, through the various scuba programs offered, Greyson has honed her skills as a diver, progressing in both confidence and capability. She has grown from a curious beginner to a now confident diver who not only enjoys the beauty of the underwater world but also understands its importance and fragility. The knowledge and respect for marine life that Kids Sea Camp imparts are invaluable, instilling in children a lifelong sense of stewardship for the environment. (See gallery)
One of the aspects that I most admire about Kids Sea Camp trips is the careful balance they strike between luxury and accessibility. The properties we’ve visited have been spectacular, offering all the comfort and indulgence you’d expect from high-end accommodations. Yet, a sense of approachability never makes these experiences feel exclusive or out of reach. The camp feels open and welcoming, creating an environment where families can bond, connect, and truly relax. Whether it’s the impeccable beaches, beautifully appointed resorts, or thoughtfully organized activities, everything has been designed to make parents and children feel at ease while having the time of their lives.
The staff is another integral part of what makes Kids Sea Camp so exceptional. Every team member exudes passion, warmth, and professionalism, from the dive instructors to the activity coordinators. They go above and beyond to ensure that each child and family feels supported, safe, and encouraged to embrace new experiences. Watching Greyson interact with them has been a joy, as it’s clear they foster a learning environment that is both fun and educational. These are not just staff members— they are mentors, guides, and friends who make every moment memorable. Their genuine interest in each family’s journey enhances the sense of community that defines the camp.
Speaking of community, one of the greatest treasures we’ve gained from Kids Sea Camp is the friendships forged during these trips. It’s rare to find a space where families from all over the world come together with a shared sense of adventure, curiosity, and respect for the ocean. The camaraderie built during these trips is authentic and lasting. We’ve connected with people who share our values, and the bonds we’ve formed extend well beyond the duration of the camp itself. Greyson has made friends who inspire her, while my spouse and I have also found deep connections with fellow parents who understand and share our love for diving and travel. The magic of Kids Sea Camp lies in its ability to bring people together, creating relationships that transcend geography and time.
At the heart of this incredible experience are Margo and Tom Peyton, the visionary owners of Kids Sea Camp. They have built something far beyond a business or a camp; they’ve created a movement, a way for families to connect with each other and the natural world in a meaningful way. Margo and Tom’s passion for diving, conservation, and family is evident in every aspect of what they do. They’ve poured their hearts into creating an environment that fosters learning, growth, and fun in a way that is both deeply personal and profoundly impactful. On a personal level, we’ve come to know them not just as the brilliant minds behind this camp but as individuals who genuinely care about the families they serve. They’ve become essential figures in our lives, and their friendship is something we cherish.
Ultimately, Kids Sea Camp has provided us with far more than just a vacation. It has been a transformative experience for our family that has shaped our view of the world and deepened our connection to each other. We are profoundly grateful for the adventures we’ve had and the memories we’ve made, and we look forward to continuing our journey with Kids Sea Camp for years to come. It truly is a one-of-a-kind gift that will stay with us for a lifetime.
