They jumped in right away with two hands-on lab activities to keep our kids occupied. We loved the plankton race activity! It's exactly the kind of activity we do at our school � little instruction, lots of experimentatio..." Read more

"I came to MarineLab in 2006 as a student, and got to bring students back in 2025. The memories I had as a student were re-lived as an adult with even more appreciation of the experience and science. I feel so fortunate that a place like MarineLab exists for kids to get hands on experiential learning."

"I just want to thank the MarineLab staff for helping a student navigate not wanting to get in the water and helping them find an approachable and meaningful way to engage in the program. I think that's probably a moment that student will remember forever."

"We really enjoyed all of our boat trips, labs, and discussions. It was a lot of swimming this year. We really enjoyed the opportunity to stop and watch the reef at mosquito. The patch reef are key to being able to watch behaviors of animals. The excitement and knowledge of our instructors, Courtenay and Molly really helped our students engage."
