Sea World special programs, has anyone...?

[crazyme5kids]

Has anyone or does anyone know someone who has done the Animal care experience or the Trainer for a Day programs? What were they like? Was it worth the money? I am thinking about sending 3 teens on one of them, so I really want to see what people thought, it is so expensive. Anyone?

My daughter went on the "Camp SeaWorld" courses about 3 years ago ( age 14) she had a great time and really enjoyed it. At the time it was a 4 night/5day course it also included her food and accommodation ( 2 nights dormed in a local hotel with other kids on the course and 2 nights "sleepovers" in SW itself. They had one night in the Shark building, and one in Wild Arctic , but they also use the underwater viewing at the Manatees and Dolphins.
I think at the time it was $500 per person but I think now it has risen to $750. I think this has taken these courses from "fair value" and placed them at "expensive but still probably worthwhile for someone wanting to persue a career in this field" .
She did have a great time ( even if she did return with a "Texan Drawl" after 5 days !!! ) It's a lot of money for 3 of them
