Big Fish Little Fish
As the weather gets chilly, our oceans stay warm and teeming with life, fish are migrating, and invertebrates release their eggs as a final effort before the cold weather sets in. Our child & adult classes are designed to enrich children ages 2-5 and their caregivers with different ocean-related topics each week. Programs will last an hour and are filled with an interactive lesson, hands-on learning, games, crafts, and a story.
AFTERSCHOOL
Grades 3-5
Brand new this school year, we are continuing our maritime adventures program into the school year! We will pick students up from Alden at 2 PM and return to DBMS for an adventure on the Bay! Examples of activities include sailing on one of our 24 ft Catboats, kayaking, a field trip to Clark’s Island, a boat ride to find a geocache, visiting an oyster grant, and marine science lessons!
Grades K-2
We will pick students up from Chandler at 3:25 PM in the DBMS van and then head back to DBMS for a marine science lesson, and an activity or craft related to what we just learned! We change things up every session, so if your child has joined us for an after-school session before, we have a whole new set of activities for this session! During the fall session, we will use a Carolina boat to get out on the Bay or take trips to local ecosystems using the DBMS van.
HOMESCHOOL ENRICHMENT
Grades K-6
Enrich your child’s homeschool experience with hands-on learning at DBMS! We’re taking things out of the classroom this year. Students will explore Duxbury Bay and other local habitats using our 15-passenger van, a Carolina skiff, and kayaks! Our lessons adhere to the next generation’s science standards.

If school is off for the day due to a holiday or professional development day, but you still have work, send your child to DBMS for a day of fun! Boat rides, scavenger hunts on the beach, and experiments in the Marine Science lab are just a few examples of some of the awesome things they will do during their day off!
