Are you or do you know a passionate youth committed to the conservation of aquatic life? If so, we have an opportunity for you to join us on Hornby Island at the Tribune Bay Outdoor Education Centre for the 3-day/2-night Salish Sea Science Program!
Participating youth (30) will learn about the
seven ocean literacy principles, the history of the area and traditional
knowledge through outdoor activities. Students will then work in teams to
develop an online learning resource to be uploaded to Ocean Wise’s online learning
environment. The resources will be a reflection of their experience
at the Salish Sea program, and will provide teachers with a tool to guide their
class through the fundamentals of ocean literacy. To fully engage youth in
ocean leadership, participants will challenge themselves in a ropes course,
explore the coast in kayaks (weather permitting) and discover intertidal
creatures while tide pooling.
