July 2012 - Children from Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County Have a Whale of a Good Time10/14/2021 Children Have a Whale of a Good Time! The Marine Life Studies “Whale and Marine Wildlife Adventure Program” Presented to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County in July
The Seaside Club will host the program on Wednesday, July 24, and the Salinas Club will host the program on Tuesday, July 25. Children from both Clubs go whale watching on July 31. In the classroom, children learn how to identify whales and dolphins and fun facts, like how and what marine wildlife eats. Then the class goes whale watching on the boat “Greatland” with Princess Monterey Whale Watching at Fisherman’s Wharf. Peggy Stap remarks, “The program is an exciting learning experience for the children. While observing marine wildlife on the whale watch, they see firsthand what they learned in the classroom. They really have a whale of a good time!” The Marine Life Studies Whale and Wildlife Adventure Program at the Boys & Girls Club of Monterey County is made possible in part by a grant from the Nancy Buck Ransom Foundation.
