Imagine living in a world of complete darkness. How would you find food, locate a mate, or defend yourself? By glowing, of course! This fun overnight program explores deep-sea adaptations and the phenomenon of bioluminescence in marine animals. Exciting laboratory activities, dissections, crafts, and movies prepare participants for an evening of fun on the sea. Watch the sunset over the Dana Point Headlands as we enjoy dinner and a bonfire at the fire-pit. After dinner, you'll board the R/V Sea Explorer for our popular 2.5-hour bioluminescence cruise. The night ends with a sleepover on the tent-like Sleeping Deck.

The overnight experience that has run for twenty-seven years as a field trip on the brig Pilgrim is available for families! Participants will step back in time and live the life of a nineteenth century sailor. You will sign aboard the Pilgrim as a "greenhand" and experience the joys, difficulties, and challenges of a sailor on an 1834 hide-merchant vessel bound for the shores of Alta California, Mexico. Packed into this eighteen-hour dockside program are many activities - hoisting cargo, sail handling, rowing, riding a bosun's chair up the mast, swabbing the decks, standing night watch, and dealing with the demanding, rough-and-tumble captain and crew. When you and your "lads" have completed this "voyage," you will have gained an unforgettable and deep appreciation of our rich maritime heritage!
