Thank you for your interest in our sea turtle programs for young people! We are excited to offer our Sea Turtle Ambassador program again this summer with a new format. The Sea Turtle Ambassadors program gives local youth a chance to learn about various ocean topics, share their love of sea turtles, build leadership skills, and make meaningful contributions to marine conservation.
This seven-week program is open to participants in Grades 1-9. Each week will have a different ocean theme for Ambassadors to learn, explore, and teach! Typically, the first hour of each session will have Ambassadors learning or exploring a new ocean topic. They’ll then spend the second hour teaching that topic to visitors of the Sea Turtle Centre and the waterfront! Ambassadors may also contribute to special projects and events at the Sea Turtle Centre. For example, Ambassadors will help us prepare for our annual Jellyfish Fashion show on August 17th!
The program will run from 11am -1pm on the following dates:
Saturday July 6: Introduction to Sea Turtles in Canada
Saturday July 13: Conservation with the help of Fishermen
Saturday July 20: The Great Leatherback Migration
Saturday July 27: Sea Turtles and Sargassum
Saturday August 10: Turtle Island
Saturday August 17: Jellyfish Fashion Show
Saturday August 24: Wrap-up Party
