Camp Ocean Child Development Center takes excellent care of the youngsters with age appropriate divisions. Located on Deck 12 (Sports Deck), Toddlers ages 2-5 are members of the Penguin Colony, children ages 6-8 are the Stingrays, and kids ages 9-11 are the Sharks. Each boasts their very own Camp Director and dedicated space. Age appropriate planned activities are provided throughout the cruise.

During daytime hours, the kids' programs, including child care, are free. There are late night babysitting services (no babysitting in the cabins) that come with an extra charge. There are also slumber parties, and you can leave your kids in the program while the ship is in port so you can go ashore.

Carnival Paradise Children's / Teens' Programs Tips:

• Club O2 Fun Times and Circle"C" Capers are handed out by their respective Directors.
• Sign up for all groups is the first night. Club O2 and Circle"C" groups can come and go as they please. It's a good idea to set up a meeting point or a buddy system after an activity is over. Camp Directors for these groups will escort as needed.
