This is an indoor program, but if weather and time permit we may make a short trip outside. Help raise the sails, learn about Long Island Sound history and ecology, and just relax and take in the view and sea air. Passengers are welcome to bring a picnic dinner. Call early for advanced registration. Discover amazing creatures that crawl, squirm, swim and slide along the mudflats and through the waters off our beaches.
All Dads are free when accompanied by their children or grandchildren.
We will explore the marsh and beach on our search to find these beasties, so bring water shoes and a towel. The blue-violet of beach pea, the deep red of salt spray rose and yellow of prickle pear cactus are just a few of the colors that highlight the beach in summer. Join us as we explore the plants that make up the beach and dunes of Connecticut. Solve this riddle by exploring the beach first hand, looking for clues as to what makes up a beach, where it all comes from and where it s going. Discover the unique features, habits and habitats of this diverse animal group.
