Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

Is Galveston Island a part of your summer plans? Find adventure with Artist Boat to explore the Galveston Bay and Beach through a unique coastal experience. Join an Eco-Art Kayak Adventure or a Bucket Brigade FREE Beach Tour. If you are looking for adventure for your kids, Artist Boat’s Summer Eco-Art Camps or ECO Camps are the perfect combination of science and art. Read more about these programs below or visit www.artistboat.org.

Eco-Art Kayak Adventure:

Explore beautiful Galveston Bay on Eco-Art Kayak Adventures with artists and biologists for a unique coastal experience into the pristine marshes and estuaries. No experience is needed. This adventure is perfect for families, groups, solo explorers, and beginners. Paddle your cares away as you transform your mindset from everyday humdrum to Coastal Adventure! Spot wildlife! Identify native plants and taste saltwort! View the calendar for scheduled dates and register online at www.artistboat.org/public-kayak-registration.

Bucket Brigade - Free Interpretive Beach Tours:

Join Artist Boat for Bucket Brigade FREE Beach Tours. Explore the creatures and features that make Galveston beaches unique! There is more to the Sargassum and turbid water than many people think, and there is much more to be found on the beach than just sand. Tours are educational and fun for ocean lovers of all ages. Hands-on activities investigate topics including Galveston’s turbid water, marine debris, Sargassum landings, and more! All ages are welcome!

The beach tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays, and they last approximately 45 minutes. Tours are held every weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Pre-registration required. Check out the schedule and book online at https://www.artistboat.org/bucket-brigade.
