Sundial Courses (ages 6 – 13)

Come and enjoy the best part of your vacation and perhaps one of the best experiences you’ve ever had!

Typically, 20 or fewer students per day are enrolled in our courses. Students are divided into groups of approximately 10 students per adult lead educator. Interns and volunteers assist educators in the classroom and in the field.

Each day, we offer a morning or afternoon course depending on our schedule. At the end of each course, every student receives a Certificate of Mastery that outlines what we accomplished.

Sea Squirts at Sundial – Ocean Education for the Little Ones (ages 4 – 6)

$36/session
Children must be bathroom independent

Sanibel Sea School is excited to offer ocean education classes for our youngest ocean explorers. Just like our classes for the big kids, we’ll have a different theme each week that we will explore – there will be crabbing, rock flipping, and traipsing through mangrove muck. We’re going to learn about our favorite sea creatures like dolphins and sea turtles and of course, go on field trips during each class. Please check our course calendar for dates and details.

What to Bring

  • Swimsuit

  • Sunblock (we ask that you do not bring sunblock in a spray bottle – it gets in eyes, can ruin equipment and clothing, and isn’t great for the environment)

  • Hat

  • Wading shoes*

  • Bug repellent

  • Towel

  • A bag for shells or fossils, if you’d like

  • Jacket if you easily get chilled in a light wind

Don’t bring disposable water bottles: Single-use disposable water bottles are a real problem for our planet. We don’t allow these types of water bottles on our campuses. The islands of Sanibel and Captiva have great drinking water. We can provide you with a loaner reusable water bottle, or you can purchase one from us to help remind you of your time with us. In your day-to-day life, please find ways to reduce the use of single-use disposable water bottles.

*Flip-flops and slip-on sandals are not great shoes for wading, because they often fall off in the water. We recommend shoes that are specifically designed to get wet, with a heel and toe that fit snugly over the foot.
