Florida’s Marine Life Class Series

Tuesday Afternoons @ Dubois Park, Jupiter
Biblically-Based

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Due to the severe weather predicted for today, April’s class has been rescheduled for May 19th. This means there will be two classes during the month of May: our regularly scheduled class on May 5th and the make up class on May 19th. The May 19th date was selected based on the tide schedule and unfortunately conflicts with Cara’s existing teaching schedule. As a result, the May 19th class will be taught by Christa Jewett. We look forward to seeing you next month!
