Field Trips and Lessons for Every Child, Year-Round on Sandy Hook and in the Delaware Bayshore Region
Bring your homeschool students to the coast for nature walks, fishing clinics, field trips, conservation projects, and wildlife encounters.
Our interactive hands-on program connects children to nature in a way they will never forget. We will explore the beach, bay, and maritime forest of Sandy Hook National Recreation Area or the South Jersey/Delaware Bayshore region. Join our trained and passionate naturalists and educators for our field-based learning approach, which immerses students in a broad range of marine and environmental science concepts and career choices.
