There may be times when normal family mini-camp schedules need to be altered due to inclement weather or unsafe water conditions\, such as extremely high tides rendering the water unsuitable for snorkeling. In these instances\, Clearwater Marine Aquarium has indoor classroom activities planned for participants. For mini-camps that include snorkeling or any other outdoor activities\, we will adjust our outdoor schedules in the event of inclement weather or water conditions for the safety of our guests. We will make every effort to resume normal camp schedules on inclement weather days as soon as possible. Since Clearwater Marine Aquarium does not have control over inclement weather or water conditions\, we cannot guarantee that guests in these mini-camps will snorkel or participate in an outdoor activity. Therefore\, we will not issue full or partial refunds due to inclement weather. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact: csmith@cmaquarium.org or call 727-441-1790 x 2262. \n\n\n\n\nLearn More URL:https://www.cmaquarium.org/event/flippered-friends-snorkel-adventure-marine-science-family-mini-camps/ LOCATION:Clearwater Marine Aquarium\, 249 Windward Passage\, Clearwater\, FL\, 33767\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cmaquarium.org/app/uploads/2023/04/Camp-Snorkel-2022.07.07-5-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240315T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240315T160000 DTSTAMP:20260519T094431 CREATED:20240209T164409Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240209T164411Z UID:61532-1710500400-1710518400@www.cmaquarium.org SUMMARY:Seaside Seabird Sanctuary at CMA DESCRIPTION:Learn about our locally found\, winged friends! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nLearn all about Florida raptors!
