Review for Chincoteague Bay Field Station, Wallops Island, VA, USA
I attended Marine Science Consortium for a week with my grandchild in 2012 and again in 2013. We all had a marvelous time learning about the miracles of our marshes, shorelines, bays and creeks. We seined, we netted, we collected, we studied, we experimented, we swam, we enjoyed Chincoteague ponies, we boated, we bused, and we ate huge ice cream cones. What's not to like if you are a 10 year old girl/boy or a 70 something grandmother/father.
The accommodations are clean and although sparse, very comfortable. The daily schedule is fully packed and also allows time for child play and grandparent rest. The staff is well equipped to handle the rambunctious as well as the sedate. Their abundant knowledge is shared in ways consistent with their audience's levels. The interns obviously enjoyed their time with the children and were very helpful to the grandparents. I am very glad that I was able to afford this week at the beach with my grandchildren. We certainly got out monies worth and more. Thank you for keeping this program so affordable. I have one more grandchild that wants to come next year.
