WHAT IS COAST KIDS?

Coast Kids is a family based environmental education program of the Assateague Coastal Trust. Our mission is to expose children to nature in a fun and safe way, and to spark their interest for Delmarva’s local fauna, flora and geography. We believe that nature can be explored with all senses, and that hands-on learning experiences build a deeper understanding of our environment.
