North Shore Explorers

Come explore what nature has in store at some of our most amazing wild places on the north shore. Our engaging and experienced staff will introduce families to local beaches, forests, and wetlands to make observations in nature, identify wildlife, and enjoy hands-on science activities outdoors.

All programs will meet at the location listed below. In case of inclement weather, we will offer a make-up date or the program will take place indoors at the Joppa Flats Education Center when appropriate. Locations are subject to change.
