Field Trips
Teachers dedicate themselves to helping students build a strong science foundation in the classroom all year. Sanibel Sea School has carefully crafted a variety of water-based lessons to expand upon that learning in the field.
Field trips are 3-hours long, and we engage in multiple hands-on activities. We split up into small groups to rotate through three stations. We always work closely with you, our partner educators, to tailor each program to meet your group's needs. Our students go home with a deeper appreciation for the sea, a greater excitement for marine science, and new skills they can enjoy for a lifetime.
Field Trips can be scheduled from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM, 10 AM - 1 PM, or 10:30 - 1:30 PM based on your group's schedule and our availability.
