Twenty five enthusiastic young snorkelers soaked up the sun with goggles on their faces and fins on their feet.
On Tuesday, day campers swam with faces slightly below the surface of the water at Fort Zachary Taylor beach testing out their equipment and preparing for two snorkeling trips to the reef later in the week.
"The campers are participating in what they are learning about," said director Mill McCleary. "It's not just about having fun, but learning all about the ocean. They go on a field trip a day where the interactively learn and experience classroom learning as well."
