Adult & Family Courses and Workshops

The Marine Science Consortium offers a variety of adult classes and workshops that explore the natural history of our coastal and marine environments through hands-on learning.

Whether you choose to peddle and paddle your way across the bucolic landscape of the Eastern Shore, get eye to eye with a great egret, or plumb the depths of Chincoteague Bay in search of watery wonders, you are sure to have an experience that will inform your life and instill a lasting sense of wonder.
