Exploritas at MSC
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. Participants are housed in modern suite-style residencies with four double occupancy bedrooms and two shared bathrooms. All meals are served at the Center cafeteria.
