Kids Sea Camp, founded by Margo Peyton and supported by underwater photographer and camp leader Rob MacKichan, unveiled during DEMA Show 2025 its upcoming 2026 programs, including the groundbreaking launch of its very first Worlds Sea Camp.
For more than two decades, Kids Sea Camp has specialized in teaching children how to dive safely while creating unforgettable family vacations centered around ocean conservation and exploration. Peyton’s vision has always been to inspire the next generation of ocean advocates, while MacKichan captures the magic of these journeys, creating what he calls “a tangible piece of evidence to a memory.”
Worlds Sea Camp – Philippines, August 2026
The Philippines has been chosen for its central location between Europe and the United States to host the inaugural Worlds Sea Camp. Families from France, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Australia and the United States are already preparing to join this global gathering.
The intention is clear: to bring families together from around the world to share not only the thrill of diving but also the joy of cultural exchange and connection.
Diving Highlights
Participants will have the rare opportunity to:
- Dive alongside Whale Sharks
- Encounter Thresher Sharks of Malapascua (40ft/12m dive)
- Visit Apple Island Turtle Sanctuary
- Explore vibrant reefs teeming with marine life
- Experience the Philippines’ renowned hospitality and rich cultural traditions
Family Programs
All trips follow Peyton’s guiding principle: adults connect with like-minded parents from around the world, while kids develop peer-to-peer friendships through age-appropriate dive programs:
- SASSY (ages 4–7)
- SEAL (ages 8–9)
- Junior (ages 10–14) – digital photography, junior advanced, or junior open water
- Ages 15+ – rescue diver, coral restoration, advanced open water
Peyton considers Kids Sea Camp “the bunny slope of the dive industry and a valuable way to develop a love of the ocean.”
A Global Movement
This announcement positions Kids Sea Camp not just as a family dive travel company, but as a global movement fostering conservation, adventure and cultural unity.
