Coastal Explorers Returns to the MBL Club

MBL, WOODS HOLE, MA – Back by popular demand, the Marine Biological 
Laboratory is pleased to present the Coastal Explorers seashore science 
class for children at the MBL Club this season. This two-day seashore 
adventure for children ages four through six includes a visit to the 
Woods Hole Science Aquarium and a variety of marine hands-on activities, 
including collecting shells and water samples at a local beach, and 
participating in associated art projects and musical activities.

Loesje Creeden and Christine Looney, teachers at the Bridgeview 
Montessori School in Bourne, MA, will lead the classes, which are 
limited to 20 children per session.

Three Part I sessions will be offered: July 8 and 10 (Tuesday and 
Thursday), July 21 and 22 (Monday and Tuesday), and August 5 and 7 
(Tuesday and Thursday). In addition, a Part II session has been added 
for children who have completed Part I and will provide a more in-depth 
exploration of our coastal environment. The Part II session will be held 
July 23 and 24 (Wednesday and Thursday).

All classes are held from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the MBL Club, 100 Water 
Street, Woods Hole. The fee per session is $70 for MBL Club members, MBL 
Associates, or MBL employees, or $90 for non-members.
