Learning Labs

2023/24 SCHOOL YEAR
​It’s our mission to provide quality, engaging, maritime-themed learning opportunities that will excite and inspire our visiting students.
​All programs are student-focused and activity-based.  
​

Learning Labs will be offered Monday through Friday from October 2023 - June 2024
for Kindergarten through 12th grade students of all abilities.
Some programs are only offered on certain days or months, so please double check!


Learning Lab fee: $100 per 30 youth 
Fee includes admission to the Museum and Lightship Columbia for 30 students and adult chaperones (ratio 1:5)
plus program supplies and Museum educator.
 Shark dissections incur an additional $150 specimen fee.

Onsite Lunch
At the time of registration, groups can request a space on-site to enjoy their lunch.

The Museum does not provide lunches for groups. 
This is a request with fulfillment based on space and staff availability.
Free - onsite, indoors
$25 non-refundable - onsite, outdoors

Lunch outside at the Warnock Model Boat Pond includes bathroom access, trash cans, stools, Museum staff person
and RC boat usage.  This is a $25 non-refundable fee (including for inclement weather).


Chaperone Policy
Adult/student ratio of 1:5 applies for all on-site visits. 
If you have more adults than the 1:5 ratio, adults numbering 7-10 may receive a discounted admission of $8 per person.
If the group has more than 10 adults (and does not have the youth to make it 1:5), extra adults will be charged
standard adult admission at the front gate. 
 Aides for students requiring one-to-one accommodation visit for free regardless of ratio.

Chaperones are expected to remain with their group for the duration of the visit to the Museum, including 
the Museum Store.  Chaperones are expected to guide youth through exhibits and on the grounds while also
enforcing all behavioral requirements.  These include but are not limited to walking feet, inside voices, treating exhibits
with respect (no climbing), and treating Museum crew and other Museum patrons with equal respect.
