Eco Teen – Turtle Ranger (12+ years)
Embrace your eco teen's passion for sea creatures, science and sustainability these school holidays! We're serving up a full day program of nature nurturing hands-on fun with a focus on everyone's fave keystone species'; sea turtles. Eco Teen - Turtle Ranger is the perfect program for budding marine biologists or wannabe sustainability warriors as we go deep into what it takes to research, rescue and help recover endangered and essential species'. Teens get hands-on in the field (beach!) and in the AQWA lab, getting a taste of ranger and researcher life. We wrap it all up (literally) by crafting reusable eco products to take home!
