The Vancouver
Aquarium Presents the AquaVan!
Dynamic AquaVan
educators deliver award-winning aquatic programs, featuring
live animals, props and activities, throughout British Columbia
and Alberta. Give your students the opportunity to touch a
sea star, understand how a barnacle feeds, observe a hermit crab up close
and discover the connections among animals, environments and
ourselves. Last year, the AquaVan delivered 409 programs to
almost 40,000 people. This year, we are visiting communities
such as Prince George, Vancouver Island, Kelowna, and Calgary!
School
Programs provide fun, hands-on, curriculum-based aquatic
encounters for grades K-12 students.
Community
Programs offer a unique opportunity for all ages to explore
the rich marine life of British Columbia.
Booking is available now for Fall 2008! (October-December)
