Saturday Marine Explorers and Adventures

Join our MarineQuest staff for a Saturday filled with exciting scientific fun at the UNCW Center for Marine Science. Each month, we'll focus on a different theme as we explore sea creatures, marine habitats and ocean phenomena through lab experiments, field activities, games and more. We are pleased to offer two exciting versions of our Saturday program each designed especially for either our younger or older MarineQuesters!

Marine Explorers (ages 5-8) will include our classic Saturday programing paired with some activities from our wildly popular ArtSea camps. These youngsters will dive in and learn what it feels like to be a true Marine Explorer!

Marine Adventures (ages 9-12) will spend Saturday afternoons exploring marine science with technology, lab experiments, field activities and more. Experience first-hand what it's like to be part of a real Marine Adventurer!
