Carnival is unveiling Camp Ocean - an exciting, new marine-themed children's program coming to the fleet of 24 "Fun Ships." Set to debut on Carnival Freedom on May 24, the expansive new program will immerse children ages 2-11 in the wonders of the sea through fun, engaging and educational experiences.
More than 200 new ocean-inspired activities will range from educational games such as Sea Creature Discovery, Marine Life Trivia, Under the Sea Mad Libs and Ocean Artifacts Memory Tray to creative arts opportunities such as Design Your Own Aquarium, Make Your Own Sailboat, Sea Salt Art, and Create Penguin from Oreos.
Camp Ocean, which will replace the existing Camp Carnival program, will welcome youngsters in with light blue and white underwater colored spaces and friendly, experienced staff. Three age-related categories will each have their own identity: children ages 2-5 will be dubbed "Penguins," with those ages 6-8 called "sting Rays" while 9-11 year olds will be "Sharks."
Distinctive areas and activities have been custom-created for each of the new age destinations - from miniature play igloos for the Penguins to interactive gaming stations for the Sharks. On Carnival Freedom, which begins a multi-million dollar refurbishment tomorrow, and Carnival Vista, which debuts in 2016, a new purpose-built Camp Ocean play area will include Party Reef, a common shared space that brings each of the groups together, as well as Creative Cove, a breakout room for arts and crafts activities.
Rollout will begin aboard Carnival Freedom in May 2014 following a major refurbishment which will also include the Dr. Seuss Bookville interactive reading venue. Camp Ocean will be introduced on Carnival Magic, Carnival Breeze and Carnival Triumph later this year with the balance of the fleet implemented by 2016, including Carnival Vista which is set to debut in early 2016.

Badge Challenge
The Badge Challenge provides an original way for kids to learn about the ship through onboard adventures, by trying new foods, making towel animals, or riding the water slide. After completing the tasks, they collect Camp Ocean badges in the form of stickers. At the end of the cruise, there is a special ceremony with giveaways for the Penguins, Sting Rays and Sharks groups. Badges can be collected over multiple cruises.
