Treasures in the Sand: ages under 13

Diane Perry, educator and co-founder of Beachcombers’ Rest Nature Center, will share facts and myths about the white sand found at Pemaquid Beach Park.  Participants will see microscopic images of crystals and particles that make up the sand, make their own sand, and then go off on an adventurous quest. Be ready to stroll with eyes and ears wide open to the many treasures in the sand! This workshop has a scavenger hunt component for families and friends.  A mature caretaker will be needed for any non-readers.  Pencils and clipboards will be supplied, but please bring your own if you can.  Workshop is limited to 15 youth.

Runs concurrent with Tide Pool Prowl for ages 13 and up.
