Daytime Activities:
Nursery Watch and Hatchling care
(Dec 10- Mar 10, 10am-3pm).
The greenhouse requires monitoring throughout
the day to care for emerging hatchlings. Participants have the opportunity to watch newly hatched turtles emerging from their
nests and learn how to care for them.
Biologists for a day will have full access to the turtle camp
and greenhouse where they will be trained by our Biologists, Technicians and/or Volunteers. Children under

release at sunset.
