The St. Louis Aquarium Foundation’s Camp Fins & Friends is our summer camp for kids ages 7-12. At camp, kids will learn about aquatic animals, think critically about conservation issues, participate in fun STEM-based activities and projects, and get to enjoy both the Aquarium and other attractions at St. Louis Union Station!
