Mini Mariners
Ages 0 - 6 & their caregivers | 1.5 hour drop-in session
What to Expect
Set sail on a shoreline adventure with your little one!
Mini Mariners is a playful, place-based program at the Community Boating Center where young children and their caregivers discover the wonders of the Salish Sea. Each session we’ll gather by the shore for story time, hands-on games, and boat-themed activities that spark curiosity and connection. Together we’ll explore intertidal zones, practice simple knots, search for shore creatures, and celebrate the people and animals who call these waters home.
Designed especially for ages 0–6, this program invites families to slow down, explore at a child’s pace, and connect with the shoreline through storytelling, movement, and discovery. We meet rain or shine — just like true sailors!
Accessibility
All activities are shore-based at the Community Boating Center, with sandy and rocky beach access depending on tides. Please email [email protected] with questions about accessibility, programming, or what to expect.
