Spring Beach Programs

Beach program registration is still OPEN!

The Seaquaria team is best known for bringing the Salish Sea into the classroom, but when the weather starts to get warmer, and the tides begin to cooperate, we like to meet classes at a local beach to explore what the intertidal zone has to offer!

No matter the age, getting outside and exploring first-hand is a wonderful way to learn!
