ORANGE BEACH, AL - Ocean Camp, marine education program for ocean lovers and future scientists ages 5-15, would like to welcome our new Board President, John Chamberlain and Secretary, Kimberly Quigley.

John is an entrepreneurial businessman and owns a company called Primary Care Direct. He is also a Coastal Alabama Business Chamber board member. With a background in Biology, he is dedicated to the goal of creating our marine science attraction as an edutainment opportunity for Alabama’s Gulf Coast.

Kimberly is an elementary teacher with a love for children and marketing skills to promote our camps across the southeast.

We are honored to have Ken Kichler, CFO Tacky Jack’s Restaurants, continue as our Treasurer this year as well. 

“No words can express our appreciation for the advice and contributions from Ocean Camp’s first board members, Rick Miller, South Baldwin Chamber and Amy Elliott, Young Entrepreneur Program Coordinator,”  Belinda Ringpfeil, Ocean Camp Director/Educator, said. “As they pass on these positions, we would like to give an outstanding thank you for their support.

“We are looking forward to a busy summer this year. Ocean Camp continues to draw children and parents who are excited about the ocean and marine life. They like to spend most of their time on the coast exploring the water and marine animals. This specialized program gives children and families the inspiration to enjoy learning about our environment and encourages the need to protect it.”
