MARINELAB NEWS

Discover MarineLab

July 17 - 20 for Grades 9 - 12

August 5 - 8 for Grades 6 - 8

Over the years, many teachers have scheduled a MarineLab program, only to cancel because they were unable to get the minimum number of students signed. Several teachers asked us if we would combine them with another school so they could attend; well, we're listening and this is the result!

If you have a group of at least 4 students, you can bring them for either of the two dates listed above and you, the lead chaperone, will be FREE. This does NOT have to be a teacher-led program, as long as there is an adult leading the group!

The itinerary is listed below or here. The cost is $500 per student and includes meals, accommodations, field trips, evening programs and snorkel gear. Here is a link to a pdf flyer you can download and print.

To reserve space for your group, simply call (800) 741-1139 or email (coordinator@marinelab.org) and we'll get you started! Our usual deposit and cancellation policies apply.
