  • Wave Riders (Ages 9-12): "Become a part of Celestial Reefs as a Wave Rider! Perfect your mermaid skills with exciting underwater tricks and games."

"The Merman’s Quest"
In the depths of midnight blue,
A merman sails where few swim through.
With courage strong and lantern bright,
He hunts the pearls of ocean light.

Seaweed forests sway and creak,
As shadows hide what others seek.
A sea witch whispers, dark and low,
"Will you stay or will you go?"

The merman smiles, his heart is true,
The treasures gleamβ€”his quest is through.
