Explore the Ocean.

(Entering 2nd or 3rd grade) will be held at the Outpost at our site in Smyrna, Delaware. Children will set out on an imaginary voyage under and above the ocean and then discover a dinosaur pit on land where they will excavate bones. Scientists believe that deep sea creatures were able to survive in the wake of the mass extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs by feeding on the bodies of micro-organisms such as bacteria and algae that trickled down from the waters above. Ships, fish, different species of dinosaurs and prehistoric sea monsters - some that lived under the sea and even some pirates will add to an exciting week of adventure.
