DBMS offers half-day vacation day programs from 12:30-3:30 PM for grades K-2. During half-day programs, we pick students up from Chandler Elementary School in our 15-passenger van. Students who attend other schools are welcome to join our half-day programs. We also offer full-day vacation programs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for grades K-5. Some of our full-day programs include a field trip component. Please read the program descriptions to learn more about the topics and activities offered in each program. Dive into the wonders of the deep with our Ocean Exploration Program—a hands-on adventure into the science and mystery of our oceans! In this exciting and interactive program, participants will:

• Investigate ocean science by exploring key concepts like water density and bathymetry (the mapping of the ocean floor).

• Discover the deep sea and learn about the fascinating creatures that thrive in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.

• Design, build, and test their own model submarines, applying engineering skills to solve real-world challenges of underwater exploration.

This program blends science, creativity, and curiosity to help youth better understand our oceans and the technologies we use to explore them. Perfect for future marine scientists, ocean engineers, and underwater adventurers!
