Marine Ecology Trip - Cape Cod

Available in the spring, this two, three or four day program takes groups of students to the eastern Massachusetts area. The trip can be designed to be an extension of the Voyage of the Mimi program by scheduling visits to sites highlighted in the Voyage of the Mimi video or the program can focus on a historical perspective by visiting sites such as Plimoth Plantation.

Groups can be housed at one of several different motels, a 4-H camp or a campground. Depending on housing, choice of programs, number of students and meal plan, the program cost can range from $100 to $190 per person.

All programs are customized according to the goals and needs of the group. When you book this program through the Outdoor Education Program, all scheduling, reservations and budgeting is done by the Outdoor Education Office.
