It’s National Beach Day! Stop by the wonderful, white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach and celebrate with Learning Campus Educators.
Activities will take place at the Interpretive Center, Alabama’s most environmentally friendly building and pursuing LEED Platinum and full Living Building Challenge certifications. Interested in learning more about the unique sustainability of the Interpretive Center? An educator will be stationed outside to give you an exciting tour of the building from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm.
Join us inside the Interpretive Center’s classroom, which has a wonderful view of the Gulf of Mexico, to make beach terrariums. Learn all about what can be found in and around our beach ecosystems before finishing the class by creating your own beautiful glass terrarium filled with natural items that mimic what can be found on our shores. You are welcome to bring some of your own shells to decorate your terrarium with.
Classes start at 10:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, and 2:00 pm. *Participation in this Eco-Art requires a $15 CASH fee.
NOTE: To keep everyone safe, glass items are NOT allowed on any of the local beaches. After you make this craft, please bring it back to your vehicle and leave it there if you plan to return to the beach.
