Your Students Catch Tropical Fish off Long Island Beaches

A seining field trip to one of our local beaches is an experience your students will long remember. And fall seining trips are the best! The Gulf Stream carries tropical fish larvae to Long Island in the spring. These tiny fish grow and mature over the summer, and we catch them in our seine nets in September and October. This gives your students an opportunity to catch fish they’d otherwise never see on Long Island. And water temperatures in September and early October are warmer than in June.

In addition to seining, your students will also learn about beach ecology and other important biology subjects. Seining dates in September and October are limited. Email info@ceedli.org to schedule a date for your students.

Famed Children’s Book Author Elizabeth Shreeve to Your School

CEED is partnering with award winning author Elizabeth Shreeve to offer two special in-school programs in January and February 2025. Elizabeth will talk with your students about being a science writer. She’ll also discuss her book titled The Upside-Down Book of Sloths, a Junior Library Guild Selection, or her newest The Oddball Book of Armadillos. CEED’s Ranger Eric will accompany Elizabeth with some of our animal ambassadors to help children understand the environment in which sloths and armadillos live.

This unique program combines literature, science, live animals, and a successful author to inspire your students! This is a limited program as Elizabeth will only be in the area for a few weeks. Choose which book you would like Elizabeth to feature, and email info@ceedli.org to schedule a date.

Join Ranger Eric for the final adventures on survival. An overnight stay to test all skills! This immersive experience is designed to put the skills you’ve honed in our Workshop Series into action. Kick off the adventure by setting up a group campsite and pitching tents, fostering teamwork and camaraderie from the start. Embark on a resource walk to understand the lay of the land, then gather around as we establish our fire, the heart of our campsite. As the embers glow, indulge in a communal dinner where everyone shares their favorite camping dishes, creating a feast of shared knowledge and flavors. Spend the evening refining your cordage skills under the stars. Awaken to a new day with a hot breakfast, complete with coffee and orange juice, fueling you for a morning dedicated to practicing and perfecting the survival skills of your choice. This challenge isn’t just a test; it’s a celebration of your journey and a testament to your readiness for whatever the wild may hold. Be prepared for the elements with proper layers, footwear, gloves, and a hand towel. In the case of rain, there will not be an indoor option. Minimum age- 15 years old (Children under the age of 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult.) This is the final of ten “stand-alone” workshops in 2024.
