Young Naturalist programs for ages 7 to 9
This is an excellent introduction to the Merrimack River and a boat-based summer program. We’ll spend each morning exploring the science behind our Merrimack River estuary, and then head out onto the water to get our hands wet and explore the river’s ecosystems first-hand. We’ll spend a good amount of time each day on the river aboard the Yankee Clipper, excellent for exploring the Merrimack River and Great Marsh. NEW! For summer 2012, we will also offer two weeks of an all-day version, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This week-long program will balance boat time with explorations ashore at a more leisurely pace.
The week’s activities will include:
- Exploring the biodiversity of a sandy beach, rocky beach, island and salt marsh
- Collecting CRABS!
- Nature awareness
- …and staying cool and having fun!
