Adults and Families

If you could plan the perfect family vacation, what would you include? You would want to make enduring family memories and have an abundance of activities for everyone in the family to enjoy, right? It would be a scenic area, full of interesting learning opportunities and unique wildlife. Meals would be provided…and prepared for you! Nights would be full of laughter and fun with planned campfires and skit/talent show nights. This perfect all-inclusive family vacation would also be affordable.

A part of our Adult programming, through a partnership with Exploritas (a division of Elderhostel), The Marine Science Consortium offers extraordinary educational opportunities to expand your physical and mental horizons and meet new friends. There are no grades or tests on Exploritas programs. All that’s needed is an inquiring mind, an adventurous spirit, and the belief that learning and discovery are lifelong pursuits.

MSC's Exploritas programs are designed to offer adults 55 and older academic experiences in coastal ecology and the natural history of Virginia's Eastern Shore. Courses are offered during the spring, summer and fall seasons.
