This is an outdoor, water program. All programs will consist of wading into the water (ankle to waist deep, depending on your height and the tide) to catch small animals but the focus of the class will depend on the theme. Please come prepared to get wet and be in the sun. Closed toe shoes are required for all Mote water programs. Your confirmation email will include additional information on what to bring and wear.

For these field explorations, we will be outside for the entirety of the program. The program will still run should inclement weather or other conditions warrant the need to be inside. We will have alternate lab and classroom based STEM activities for that week's themes so you never miss out on the fun, no matter what the weather is up to! Meeting time and location remains the same, whether class is held outside or not.

Mote reserves the right to update or modify any program elements as necessary. Modification of a program element by Mote does not constitute grounds for a refund. Please Note: Pre-registration is required. Mote Aquarium admission is NOT included. 

Members	$22.50
