"Favorite thing: The balance between instruction/boat time and free time is good. You keep them busy! but they still have enough time to shower and play volleyball. But not enough to get bored and start annoying the chaperones :)"

"Our students loved the rock shake lab! They also enjoyed both trips to snorkel. The only feedback we received from the students is they wished they had more time to snorkel at the mangroves and out at the coral reef. They loved being able to swim with the sea turtles and dolphins, such an awesome experience!"

"On the bus ride home I asked each student what their favorite and least favorite part was, the students lit up. Several said going to the corals was their favorite, even though it was challenging for them they still were grateful to see that."

"Highly recommended experience what an amazing time for our students to experience the ocean and diverse marine life. Loved the marine lab educators, engaging lessons. It was windy, and we appreciated that the team proposed another location for a snorkel experience."

"The staff is always the most accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they make learning more fun! It's not every day you learn about something and then immediately see it in action, so thank you, MarineLab, for engaging them and teaching them."

"I loved watching our students bridge the gap between their Texas-based research and real-world marine science at MarineLab! Without the ocean in Texas, they�ve studied marine ecosystems from a distance, but experiencing them firsthand in Florida allowed them to make deeper connections, expanding their understanding in a way that furthers their learning beyon..."

"This being our eighth year at MarineLab, it is nice to see familiar faces. I feel that the values of MarineLab are very, very similar to the values of our school and that kindness and character are what counts and those character traits used effectively, deliver the curriculum in a way that children will remember. The adaptability of the instructional staff..." Read more

"When the instructor asked how many kids had snorkeled before and only about 10 - 15% of the kids raised their hands. The excitement when one of my groups got off the boat and told me they saw a shark, two barracudas, a HUGGGGE fish (Goliath Grouper), and a ray. They were so excited!"

"Hands down the best staff and more educational experience we have ever seen in our teaching careers. Everything was appropriately challenging while also meeting the students where they were. The staff could reframe and adjust the levels of responses to meet and affirm our students. Life changing experience for the students and adult chaperones alike. Thank y..." Read more

"My students will forever say "icy-spicy" instead of "cold" because of our wonderful group leaders. Our leaders took an unfavorable situation (chilly water) & made it into a silly & positive experience. "

"The staff was flexible and offered alternatives when the weather was too windy. I have been bringing students to Marine Lab for over 10 years and we were able to participate in new activities that we haven't done before. The turtle activity was a big hit and so was the walk to the mangroves to collect marine debris (October 2024 trip). My favorite activity..." Read more

"The information presented in the labs and classrooms is very strong! Kids enjoy the interactive approach the best. All instructors were good Lexie, Meg and Erin. Erin is particularly strong with the kids. She kept our boat of 15 boys engaged, informed and in line but in a cool, relatable way. She was very patient and thorough (with ALL of us!). She was very..." Read more
