One of the best parts about visiting the gulf coast is the amazing shelling opportunities our beautiful beaches provide. Have you ever wanted to know more about seashells, like what animals create them and why are some seashells more valuable than others. In this class students young or older will learn about the amazing creatures that make the sea shells we find laying in the sand on the beach. They will also learn about mollusks and how they use their shells for protection throughout their lives. Students will see real shells and will have the opportunity to look at them up close. The most important part of this class will be teaching these new young shell collectors how to find the best shells while being seashell conservationists. Seashell School enrolled students will also get to create their very own seashell craft!
