What's in store:
During our half-day programs, we will explore some of Marion’s unique natural areas including our rocky intertidal shoreline, salt marshes, and estuaries as well as freshwater riverbanks, forest, swamps, ponds, and bogs. We will take trips to look for the birds, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates that make these areas so special.
Each morning will involve hands-on exploration, experiments, crafts, and journaling while being outdoors. Your child will enjoy being a Coastal Explorer with the Marion Natural History Museum!
Space is limited so make sure to register early.
Perfect for children entering grades 3-6.
