Ended
1,250 US dollars
The Salish Sea School Discovery Center

Service Description

For students 14-17 years old. Guardians of the Sea is a four day (10AM-4PM) daily boat and local island based educational adventure that spans the marine ecosystem. It is the perfect program to spark interest in marine ecosystems and understand how it is all connected, from water quality to whales. Our curriculum is designed to introduce students to the local marine life in the Salish Sea. From eel grass to forage fish, to seals, to seabirds, we believe experiential education initiates a desire to save our natural world. Each day includes healthy snacks, local lunch, and a stop at an island for a hike or tidal pool exploration. This program meets at Skyline Marina in Anacortes, WA. Please note there is a 2-hr extra introductory day on Monday before camp begins. Weather note: Weather and water conditions will dictate if/when we can take out our vessel. If conditions do not permit boat travel, we will be exploring all that Fidalgo has to offer or ferry to another island for new adventures. We have only had to do this twice in four years :)
