Our founders had a simple mission with relentless conviction – “Using the Ocean as Our Classroom, We Inspire Children to Learn” To that end, we provide unique deep-dive, hands-on learning experiences that leave an impression on children across decades and generations. From touching sea stars to observing majestic marine mammals for the first time; spending the night under the stars on our Surf Deck or awakening a child’s curiosity aboard our tall ship, Spirit of Dana Point, our work changes the way children see themselves and their world.
Can you pinpoint a moment in your life that changed everything?Ocean Institute does not simply change a day in a child’s life, we change the perception of what life has to offer. Experiences, possibilities, educational pathways, career options, and an individual’s power to support a healthy environment are broadened in a matter of hours through sophisticated resources, a stunning location, and our talented and passionate staff.
This year, we are celebrating 45 years of excellence in ocean education and have planned phenomenal ways for you, our supporters, to participate.
We humbly invite you to participate in our Online Silent Auction and support the Surf on Your Turf by dining out at our partner restaurants!
100% of the proceeds go to support Ocean Institute’s operations and Adopt-A-Class Program.
Dr. Wendy Marshall
President and CEO
