Service Description

*NEW THIS YEAR! OVERNIGHT ON FIDALGO ISLAND THURSDAY-FRIDAY!* Non-refundable $350 deposit due today! Remaining balance due 90 days prior to camp. Guardians of the Sea is a boat and local island-based educational adventure that spans the marine ecosystem. New in 2025 is an overnight on Thursday where students will spend time connecting deeper with the marine ecosystem and each other. It is the perfect program to spark interest in marine ecosystems and understand how it is all connected, from marine debris to whales. Our curriculum is designed to introduce students to the local marine life in the Salish Sea. From eel grass, to forage fish, to seals, to seabirds, we believe experiential education initiates a desire to save our natural world. ​Each day includes healthy snacks, local lunch, and a stop at an island for a hike or tidal pool exploration. ​Highlights include: ​Experience incredible marine life Marine species identification Beach clean-ups Marine debris surveys Small group learning (no more than 6 students) Mindfulness in nature activities Each day's lesson will focus on the specific topic listed below, however we never can predict what marine life each day will bring! The ultimate goal is to experience the animals' ecosystem and understand how students can become leaders in marine conservation - seeing whales is never guaranteed. At the end of each program, students will get a *new this year* canvas bag (to collect unique TSSS pins on for returners!) and t-shirt.
