Elementary School Programs
The Sanctuary Visitor Center offers a variety of grade specific, lively, hands-on programs for students grades K-6. Programs are two hours long and take place in the Sanctuary classroom, Visitor Center, and on beautiful Chrissy Field Beach.
Can’t make it to the Visitor Center – no problem! Our At Your School programs bring the ocean to your classroom. We have programs for K-12 that encourage your students to discover the wonder of ocean science without leaving the school grounds. Programs are standards-based and topics vary by grade and include crabs, sharks, marine birds and how scientists study sea life. |
