You can go down below and view the kelp through the windows that are located on either side of the boat. There is a long seat that runs down the middle for relaxed viewing. The skipper throws food over the side of the boat and the fish that live in and around the kelp will come swimming up to the windows to eat. Don’t miss your chance to try a trip on the “SEAVIEW” SSV (semi-submersible vessel).

Girl Scouts in Grade Levels Brownie-Ambassador

What: 
Enjoy a unique experience as an artist using professional art materials in a fun creative atmosphere.  Paint and take home a canvas art piece ready to hang. It’s a creative interactive activity for special occasions, fundraisers, or just quality troop time.

Each girl dons an apron and has her own “Paint Station”: easel, canvas, unlimited paint and brushes.  Girls are encouraged to record a memory, paint the surrounding scene, explore abstracts and just have fun creating an original work of art. Great for getting girls to know each other on a new level. “Gallery Time” is recommended where each girl shares her work at the end which enhances self confidence and public speaking skills. Each girl leaves the party with their own original art on canvas.

10 painter minimum (adults encouraged to join in ). 35 painters maximum

Where:
The location of your choice. Great for parks, beaches and big back yards.

Cost:
$20. per girl for Student grade Canvas, $30 per girl for Gallery style Canvas
