Explore the Shore
Though it isn't always obvious the treasures we find on the beach can tell us stories about the land, the ocean and the beach itself.
While strolling Laudholm Beach, we will explore the shore through questions about and investigations of sand, the wrack line and found objects. In honor of Earth Day, we will incorporate a beach cleanup activity as well!
Program will start at the Gazebo with a quick introductory activity before we head down the trail (~20 min walk) to the beach. Trail length ~ 1.5-1.75 mi.
*Please dress for the weather and bring layers. It’s often windier at the beach.
*The program is geared towards families with kids ages 5 - 15, though younger siblings are welcome.
