More Information

Ever wonder what makes a fish a fish? Why can some fish swim so fast and how do others seem to disappear in the ocean? Come and learn all about fish adaptations and what makes these underwater creatures so unique. This program will also include learning about the art of Gyotaku and each participant will get to take home a bag with a fish print on it! Participants should come dressed in clothes that could get fabric paint on them.
