Explorers Science
Now Booking for 2024-25 School Year!
Students will be taught with a hands-on, multidisciplinary approach which enables students in small groups to experience how the tools of exploration such as the magnetic compass, and charts, are used and dive into the world of marine science by exploring our local watershed.
Life on the Barbary Coast
Students explore maritime history by becoming “sailors” themselves; as they learn the language of the sea, the skills needed to row and maneuver a one-ton longboat, or the confidence and teamwork to raise each other off the deck in a Bosun’s chair, they become a part of this history.

Aquatic Park Science and Rowing Program
Conduct water quality tests, analyze data, count and identify species along the rocky intertidal zone, make connections to history in Aquatic Park, and learn to row as a team in our longboat, Cutter J. Our programs are tailored to the group’s size and needs, ensuring a personalized and engaging learning experience. Half of the time is spent on the water, weather permitting, and half of the time in the classroom.
The AQP Science program meets the State Standards requirements for the Fifth through Seventh Grade curricula including Ocean Literacy Principals.
The Gold Rush
Fourth and fifth grade students embark on an imaginary voyage on Hyde Street Pier. On the pier the students are immersed in an environmental living program which expands on their advance research and invites them to explore the rugged era of the Gold Rush from a maritime perspective.
