The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy's
Youth Summer Educational Programs
People around the world have a love for Shark Week. A whole week dedicated to learning about and watching sharks in their natural environments - what's not to love? At AWSC, we wanted to offer a more hands-on experience of shark week for the youth on Cape Cod while providing an opportunity for kids to experience shark week up-close and personal. From engineering labs where participants are taught how to build and apply shark tags, to science labs, where they learn how to dissect a locally caught dogfish, our kids learn by getting messy and having fun!
This year we are offering 4-day, half-day programs as well as one-day Shark STEM Workshops. Please review the information below to learn about different programs offered.
