BREWSTER – The region’s favorite summer visitors, great white sharks, are back patrolling Cape waters and local organizations are offering a fun, educational opportunity for kids to learn more about the aquatic predators.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster are partnering for Shark Week for Kids.
The week long day program will introduce youth to shark biology through hands-on activities, outdoor experiences and traditional camp games altered to be shark themed.
Over the course of the week, the children will learn about shark antomy, habitat, ecology, species variation, diet and conservation, along with an introduction to the current shark research being conducted off the Cape.
Programs will be led by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy Education Director Marianne Long, and museum staff.
The first session is from August 15 through the 19 and is for children ages 7 to 9.
A second session for 10 to 12-year-olds will be held from August 22 through the 26.
The program costs $375 for Cape Cod Museum of Natural History Members and $400 for non-members.
