What great fun! I had friends who worked at the one in San Diego many moons ago. They do so much good research and rehab work that I would not begrudge them a penny!

So, we know you have more pictures....cough them up.

Ha ha yeah, I smelled like fish, and so did my laundry! From what I saw, SeaWorld takes extremely good care of their animals, they do TONS of research and I saw a bunch of animals they were rehabbing. They try to return them, but they don't if there is something wrong with them, like some blind sea lions or a partially blind owl.

Oh yeah, I have about 120 and my camera broke halfway through the week!

Do you get credits for anything.... I mean if you have to take an exam, it has to count for something... right?!?!

Maybe I'll see If I can do something like that this or next summer....
But $1000 is steep haha

A bunch of the other kids did, but my school was retarded and didn't let me :( Yeah $1000 is a lot, but for all you get, plus the price of the AT LEAST 3000 lbs of fish they use every day I think it's more than worth it!

Welcome to America... the good ole U.S. of A. Gotta love it!
It does look like an awesome time though I must admit. Hands on education... thats the way to go. Do they offer like a summer internship?

They don't offer internships, but once I go to the next camp I can work there as a counselor, or as an apprentice trainer once I turn 18! And having this camp looks great on my resume!
