Additional Information

Bring the family and explore all that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and the Estuarium has to offer.  We will have activities October 8th-11th. This is around Fall Break and great time to head to the beach. It should be fun and will be very affordable.  It will be wonderful for 5th-12th graders taking biology, marine biology, life sciences, environmental sciences, anatomy, and it complements lab requirements.   We have other activities for K-4th graders.

Please read the details and sign up if you're interested!  This preliminary sign up will ask you to: sign up your children, if your 5th-12th grade children will use the dorm accommodations, if more family members are coming, and if you are willing to serve as a chaperone.

Dorm accommodations and meals may be about $125 per person (including chaperones)
