Field Trips at the Field Station!

Educate by the seashore, dive into the touch tanks, and have fun on a field trip at the Deep Bay Marine Field Station.

Our outstanding hands‐on programs incorporate a series of engaging and age appropriate activities that aim to inspire curiosity and increase understanding of our oceans. Classes are taught in the facility’s classroom by passionate science educators and volunteers. Many programs are available year‐round but some outdoor activities are subject to weather conditions and tides. Programs are designed to meet the new BC curriculum learning outcomes and can be customized to meet the goals and interests of each group.
