MBL's Childrens Programs The MBL Childrens Programs are comprised of the Periwinkle and Satellite Clubs. These are summer recreation programs designed to provide age-appropriate activities and supervision for children of MBL faculty, investigators, administrators, students and staff. Children from the scientific community (WHOI, NOAA/Fisheries, USGS, WHRC, SEA) are accepted when space is available. The programs seek to support children’s emotional, physical, social, and intellectual development in a group atmosphere that encourages a sense of community, fun, and appreciation of the uniqueness of the Woods Hole setting. Each club has a highly qualified, dedicated, and diverse staff with a multitude of talents. They plan daily activities, which include science/nature, sports, arts & crafts, excursions to the local parks and beaches, as well as several field trips throughout the ten-week season. The clubs comply with the regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health; and are licensed by the Falmouth Board of Health; they are members of the American Camping Association.
Periwinkle Club
This program is located in the Osterhout Cottage, a peaceful wooded setting nestled among the MBL cottages on Memorial Circle. The primary focus is on children aged 4-6 (entering 1st grade). A low child/staff ratio permits considerable individual attention.

A $90.00 non-refundable registration fee is due with each registration. Space for your child will only be reserved once the registration fee is received. Parent manual (PDF format)
