Carnival’s Camp Ocean
Carnival Cruise Line will debut Camp Ocean, a marine-themed children’s program, onboard Carnival Freedom on May 24 and roll it out fleetwide by 2016. The program, which will replace the line’s Camp Carnival program, will immerse children ages 2 to 11 in the “wonders of the sea” through fun, educational onboard activities. Among the 200 ocean-inspired activities will be games such as Sea Creature Discovery, Marine Life Trivia, Under the Sea Mad Libs and Ocean Artifacts Memory Tray, as well as creative arts exercises like Design Your Own Aquarium, Make Your Own Sailboat, Sea Salt Art and Create a Penguin from Oreos. The program also will incorporate a Badge Challenge, which gives your children the chance to earn and collect badges for completing special tasks such as trying new foods, making an aquatic animal towel or riding the water slide. Children’s spaces also will be redesigned. In developing the Camp Ocean program, Carnival created a Carnival Play Panel consisting of experts in child education, media and play. Carnival’s programs for tweens and teens, Circle C and Club O2 will remain unchanged.
