The Introductory session is a one-week program designed to emphasize environmental discovery and exploration. The session is offered at the beginning of the summer exclusively to 10-12 year old students who are curious about the ocean and the world around them.
This hands-on program seeks to raise awareness about marine environments and stimulate an interest in the sciences through a variety of fun and engaging activities like:
• Tidal Pool Discovery
• Salt Marsh Exploration
• Beach & Island Ecology
• Boat Trips with Lobster Fishermen
• Seal and Seabird Watches
• Geology Hikes
• Astronomy Lessons
• Night Walks
• Visits to Local Museums
No previous experience is expected, and the program is ideal for active learners who would enjoy an exciting and educational introduction to the coast of Maine.
Daily recreational activities like swimming, scavenger hunts and a variety of games mean that there will also be plenty of time for fun.
