Does your teenager love coastal waters and marine wildlife? Rookery Bay offers an opportunity for students in grades seven through 10 to explore Southwest Florida’s environment alongside biologists this summer.
Students have the option to register for one- to three-day programs with a variety of themes, like kayaking through mangroves tunnels, an introduction to plant identification and community data collection, birding basics in the estuary, searching for coastal critters in the bays and beaches or getting hands-on in the labs with microscopes and a real squid dissection.
Sessions run weekly through the month of June. Learn more at RookeryBay.org.
