Tides is a three-hour drop-off Marine Biology experience for children grades 1st-8th, located at a different beach in South Marin County each week. Nature journals in-hand, students learn about marine creatures, marine plants, birds, tide pools, ecosystems, and sustainability, all in a hands-on, exploratory learning environment. Tides is lead by our wonderful biologist head teacher and assistant teacher who have plenty of experience teaching children about the wonders of Marine Biology. These are small group classes of up to 14 students per group.
