Follow a Raindrop Session 3: Ferry Beach

We are excited for the third stop on our Follow a Raindrop journey – Ferry Beach in Scarborough.

Follow a Raindrop is a 3-part educational program in collaboration with Friends of Scarborough Marsh intended for children ages 8-12. In this session, we will investigate the physical properties of water and the biological organisms that depend upon this resource at Ferry Beach along Scarborough’s coast. Participants will gain an appreciation for the complexity of Scarborough’s water systems and their impacts on all life.

With a combination of informative and hands-on experiences, participants should expect to get their hands (and the rest of them) wet! We will measure the characteristics of the water and sample the aquatic organisms that live in at the beach. Bathing suits, and well-fitting waterproof shoes or sandals are a must. We also recommend a change of clothes and a towel.

Please purchase one ticket for each child that will attend the program. Parents are not required to buy a ticket, but are asked to attend the program and stay with their child(ren) for the duration of the event.

If you are interested in securing scholarship funding, please email Henry at hgustavson@scarboroughlandtrust.org to learn more.

Please note that attendees must pay to park at Ferry Beach, but are welcome to stay at the beach on their own for the rest of the day after our program. Seasonal Beach Passes are available through the Scarborough Town Clerk’s Office.
