BILINGUAL MARINE BIOLOGY SUMMER WORKSHOP FOR KIDS
brought to you by La Paz Divers, a marine-biologist owned and managed dive centre in La Paz, BCS, Mexico
*for children aged 5-15.
It’s almost that time of year again for our hugely popular bilingual marine biology summer camp for kids.
This year, we decided to run a workshop over five consecutive days to cater to those that will be visiting La Paz for a short time.
The dates are 22-26 July 2024 from 09:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
The price for the complete 5 day program is $3,250 Pesos per child.
This five day workshop will then be repeated as a series over the following five Saturdays:
27 July, and 3, 10, 17, and 24 August 2024 from 09:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
The price for each workshop is $650 Pesos per child.
For both the consecutive 5 days program and the series, three of the days will be held at Playa Caimancito, one day at the mangroves of Conchalito, and the final day at Playa La Concha, exposing your kids to a range of ecosystems and wildlife.
Our program endeavors to deliver a fun and educational summer camp approach to enlighten your children about the biodiversity of marine life in our region and the threats faced by marine ecosystems and their associated flora and fauna.Our dedicated crew consists of language teachers, educators, marine biologists, and dive / snorkeling instructors that will guide your children to learn about the local marine environment with an emphasis on enjoying it safely and responsibly, as well as encouraging them to speak in their non-native language
Snorkeling and skin diving instruction will be offered to those interested, giving your children a window into a whole new world and the confidence to handle themselves in the ocean. As well as this, we will introduce the children to some of the equipment that a marine biologist may use to conduct their work including microscopes, water chemistry meters, fish and plankton nets, cameras, snorkel gear, scuba diving equipment, and more.
Species and animal group identification is hot on the agenda whereby the children will use our wildlife guides to identify plants and animals encountered during the workshops and learn about where and how these organisms live and what natural and human-made threats they may face
We provide all activities, shade for the beach, a cold water dispenser, and a cool box with ice for your use. Children are required to bring along their own lunch and snorkeling equipment.
Each child will be placed into a study group and each study group will be designated a marine-related topic to study in their own time. On the last day of the program, the parents/guardians of the children will be invited at around 11 AM to return and watch their children deliver a presentation about their topic. After that, it’s time for a beer and a few hotdogs before we wrap it up.
These workshops are very satisfying for our crew to work on because we can see how the kids are positively impacted.
Our team is working hard on the activities to make the program fun and engaging for your little (or not so little) ones.
