Dorms are partitioned according to sex and are named after local animals or island lore such as Dolphin, Flying Fish, or Torqua. Camp staff reside in housing units immediately adjacent to student housing. A campus map and typical dorm setups may be viewed below. Our kitchen staff provides three balanced meals a day. Meals are served family-style with a salad or fruit bar available for lunch and dinner.
Every meal has several entree options, always including at least one vegetarian selection.
Special dietary accomodations can be made if we are notified in advance. Instructors at Toyon Bay are able to augment their outdoor educational programs with six indoor teaching labs. The bony fish and shark labs offer students a closer look at some of the animals they may have encountered on the snorkel. Exploring the invertebrate lab reveals a host of alien-looking creatures living all along the seashore, though often hidden or overlooked. Enter the algae lab and you may change your opinions about seaweed as we examine how it affects marine ecosystems and our daily life.
