This overnight, weekend program will allow families to explore Dauphin Island and investigate its habitats, guided by one of our full-time marine educators. Activities include a trip aboard the Sea Lab's research vessel, learning about estuaries, exploring beaches with a scientific eye, investigating salt marshes and their importance by foot and kayak, nighttime ghost crab hunting, bird walks through the forest, and a guided tour of the aquarium.

Dorm accommodations are on-site with double-occupancy rooms. The minimum age for participation is 8. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
