- **Event Name**: Fauna Frenzy - Homeschool Event
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am – Fri, 03 Apr, 2026 at 03:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Spring 2026 Family Homeschool Events

The Oregon Sea Grant Marine Education Program is hosting several exciting, hands-on homeschool programs at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon this Spring!

Each program includes two date options and age-specific tracks. Family-friendly tracks will be for participants with predominantly younger children (ages 4 to 10) and mixed aged children (ages 8 to 12) and parents and children participate in classes as a family unit. Students that are 12 to 18 years may participate in the students only (drop-off) track where adult supervision is not required.

Important note: the target grade levels for each "family friendly" track are suggested; therefore, all participants do not need to fall within the target age range. We recommend assessing your student learning levels and choosing the track that best fits your family’s needs. Educators will tailor the content to meet participants’ educational needs, with parents providing additional support for children outside the target grades. Participants in the students only track must fall within the 12 to 18 age range. Please review all logistics and registration tips below prior to submitting your registration. We look forward to hosting you and your family this spring!

Important Logistics:
- Parking is available in our visitor center parking lot.
- Cost is $25 per person (adults and children ages 4 and above) and fees are paid at the time of registration. Children below 4 years of age are free.
- Each event includes 3 hours of hands-on STEM-themed activities, a break for lunch, craft time, and visitor center exploration.
- Payments are due at the time of registration. Program fees are fully refundable if a cancellation notification is received at least one week prior to the program date. Program fees are non-refundable if cancellation occurs after the one week deadline with limited exceptions granted on a case by case basis. Please contact the Marine Education Coordinator if you need to cancel your registration or if you have a last minute change in plans.

"Fauna Frenzy" - April 3 and 6
Get ready for a full day of wildlife exploration as we dive into the incredible animals that call our coast home! During this day-long homeschool program, families will investigate marine and coastal organisms through hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, and real scientific tools. From studying cephalopods and crabs to observing birds, sharks, and estuary life, students will explore how different species move, survive, interact, and adapt to their environments. Participants will work together to discover the richness of coastal biodiversity and the science behind what makes these animals so extraordinary. Important: SEALS and SHORE CRAB tracks are family-focused and families register and learn together. The SANDPIPER track is our students only track for participants 12-18 years.
