Sanibel Sea School is part of the Sanibel - Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) family. The mission of SCCF is to protect and care for Southwest Florida's coastal ecosystems. Reinforcing this organizational purpose is the mission of Sanibel Sea School; to improve the ocean’s future, one person at a time. We are one organization with the united mission of improving, protecting and caring for our local natural resources.
Our campus is located on the east end of Sanibel Island, on the southwest coast of Florida. Experiential educational offerings include days, non-residential summer and winter camps, paddling and outdoor education activities, homeschooling, and ocean outreach programs for our local community. Sanibel Sea School works with all ages but our primary audience is 6 to 13.
We are a small staff, who are extremely passionate about the ocean and our work; we strive to offer exceptional customer service and education to each of our clients. We are dedicated to the growth of our students and strongly believe in the value of experiential education in nature. Learning outdoors builds self-confidence, encourages trust, and ignites curiosity and wonder. Our goal is pretty simple, through exploration and discovery, we want to help children fall in love with the ocean and become lifelong advocates for the environment. We seek seasonal educators who are passionate about helping students learn, grow, and succeed all while discovering the magic of the ocean. We are also committed to a diverse workplace and strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups in marine and environmental sciences.
