Our program Life Along the Shore is for Grades entering 1 – 2. This program will find us seining the shore and exploring the plants and animals that live in our area’s many coastal habitats. With the use of games, journals and introductory science techniques, this will be a wonderful first look at life in our coastal environment.
Our second program is Coastal Explorations for Grades entering 3 – 4. This program will feature explorations of our rocky intertidal shoreline, salt marshes, estuaries as well as freshwater riverbanks, swamps, ponds and bogs. We will look at the birds, amphibians, fish and invertebrates that make these areas so special.
Our third program is Coastal Explorations for Grades entering 5 – 7. We will be continuing our exploration of coastal and freshwater habitats. We will be investigating Sippican Land Trust lands, kayaking and learning a little more about the very special habitat Marion lands provide.
Dates for both programs are from July 9-20 and again August 6-17. Cost for each program remains the same: $200 for members and $250 non-members. All programs run from 9:00 am-12:00 pm, Monday – Friday. This is a wonderful opportunity to expose your children to the natural world around them.
