Custom Design your Expedition



Field trips use vital resources. We want to make sure that you and your students get the most possible for your investment. We are marine scientists who specialize in coastal, estuarine and marine field trips for middle and high school students.

We will work with you to custom design a field experience that: 
• Is age and grade appropriate
• Is academically challenging and motivational
• Perfectly complements your students’ classroom learning
• Is led by SOS staff who have a deep understanding of the field sites and relevant ecology and natural history
• Involves hands-on and minds-on activities, data collection and personal observations
• Promotes personal growth through new experiences

Local / Regional Trips
We have identified a variety of high quality field sites around the Chesapeake Bay and coastal mid-Atlantic that focus on ecology, earth science or local environmental issues.

We can plan and lead challenging short trips (1 to 3 days) to these areas that are customized to meet your specific educational goals. 

Extended Trips 

Consider a trip to South Florida or the Caribbean. Explore the flora and fauna of the Everglades or natural areas in the Florida Keys. Discover the wonders of the Bahamas islands on a sailing adventure or land-based trip that provides opportunities for real learning and significant conservation work. Investigate coral reefs, mangrove swamps and lush sea grass beds - truly a life-changing experience for your students. 

Affordability 

In creating a custom field experience, you need not sacrifice affordability for quality. We offer high quality programs at value-packed prices. All aspects of the field program are carefully evaluated to make sure you receive the best service and price possible. Our staff is happy to work with you on an individual basis to create an itinerary that meets your needs and budget.
