Coastal Keepers: Paddle Science for Teens – Explore, Test, Protect!
Ready to make waves for the planet? Join us for Coastal Keepers, an exciting, hands-on Paddle Science experience where teens take the lead as protectors of our local waterways!
This isn’t your average paddle—it's a science-powered eco mission on the move. Led by local marine educators, we’ll kick things off with paddling basics and water safety before heading out on a guided journey through creeks, marshes, and living shorelines.
Cost:
Single Kayak $55
Double Kayak $90
🔬 What you’ll do:
Test real water samples for salinity, pH, turbidity, and more—just like a field scientist!
Get a crab’s-eye view of a living shoreline and discover how it defends our coastlines from erosion and storms.
Learn how smart shoreline design blends nature and engineering to protect wildlife and communities.
Spot marsh critters, birds, and maybe even dolphins as we paddle through these vital ecosystems.
Wrap up with a fun debrief and Q&A, where teens reflect on what it means to be a true Coastal Keeper.
💡 Perfect for budding scientists, outdoor lovers, and anyone who wants to connect, learn, and take action for our coastal future!
Cap it off with a mini coastal cleanup, where every piece of trash removed helps keep our barrier island beautiful and healthy. Learn how small actions make big waves — and how you can help keep our coastlines thriving. 💧🌱♻️
