Marine Explorers
Bay Buccaneers
The Bay Buccaneers worked on getting out into the water, learning about beaches and coasts. They started by seining and learning about our local fish species and moved into snuggling for small eels in our stream. As the weeks went on and friendship formed, they began to venture further out together, even enjoying a kayak tour. As Session 2 wrapped up, they enjoyed a joyride on the launch boat and made pirate hats to go with the occasion.
First Mates
The First Mates engaged in a variety of activities around the water and about the creatures that live in it. They learned about beavers and made a dam of our own, went kayaking and seining, and learned microscopy by performing a plankton tow and looking at mosquito larvae.
Mariners
More to come!
Sound Swashbucklers
The Sound Swashbucklers spent time sailing Opti boats while continuing to build their sailing skills and confidence on the water. They also participated in hands-on marine education activities, including seining for fish to learn more about the local marine ecosystem.
Skippers
The Skippers built upon their marine education skills through a variety of activities throughout the week. They kayaked to Crab island, learned about sharks and their unique teeth, created UV bracelets, and painted t-shirts.
