I’ve written about former campers and where they are now, whether it is up at Shamu stadium as a trainer or working with sea lions or in the Florida Keys on a lobster boat, but this story may be the best yet. A few weeks ago, one of SeaWorld San Antonio’s first campers brought her own family back to camp. Julie was a part of our first day camp group in 1992 and part of the first resident camp in 1994.

Members of the U.S. armed services, park guests and employees celebrated Flag Day today at SeaWorld in Orlando, San Antonio and San Diego, Busch Gardens in Tampa and Williamsburg, and Sesame Place.

Special military ceremonies and tributes, including a joint-services ceremony at SeaWorld San Antonio, took place during the day.

Hey Fans! In case you haven’t heard, 2011 is a really exciting year for SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. We’re opening ten – that’s right, ten – new attractions in our parks across the country! Here’s a quick download on everything that’s coming to your favorite parks this year.

SUMMER AT SEAWORLD ROCKS ... DAY OR NIGHT

Starting this Saturday and to kick off the summer, SeaWorld invites guests to stay for the encore as the parks are open later and feature special nighttime (and daytime) shows, live music and spectacular fireworks. Whether day or night, SeaWorld is the place to be this summer for a one-of-a-kind experience. Special nighttime shows at all three SeaWorld Parks -- Orlando, San Diego and San Antonio -- include:

With each purchase of a $5 child's ticket, 100% of proceeds fund non-profit organizations working on wildlife conservation projects.

Summer is the perfect time for all of us to reconnect with family and friends - and to make memories that will last a lifetime.

And now, the three SeaWorld parks are rolling out an offer that comes at the perfect time for vacations and allows you and your family the chance to make a real difference for wildlife conservation.
