Who We Are

Ocean Youth Academy was founded by a group of polar expedition guides, marine biologists and outdoor educators who have first hand experience with the transformative power of immersive education and connection with nature. 

Our Commitment

In a world where connection leads to action and conservation, our mission is to make ocean education available to as many children as possible. We are committed to providing the next generation with the stories and educational tools to connect with the magic of our natural world. ​

Global Experience 

Our unique team of naturalists, instructors, scientists, educators, lecturers and biologists have field experience from the farthest stretches of the planet and every ocean in-between. We bring in experts from each field to bring to life and fulfill the needs of every unique program that we create.  

"If there is any magic on this planet, it is contained in water."
