Family and social group programs

Do you know a few families and friends or even colleagues who would like to do a marine ecology program? Sign up for one of our programs! 

We have provided programs to sport groups, office retreats staying at nearby hotels, and friend groups from the city. 

You and your friends can stay overnight in the historic Fort and learn about coastal wilidlife from experts.

Any of the program activities we provide in the Coastal Academy can be incorporated into your program.
