Wild Sea Turtle Wednesdays at The Big Chill
We’re pretty sure we know why everyone loves WSTW at The Big Chill. It’s fun for the WHOLE family!
Learn how you can help sea turtles and their success at nesting on our beaches.
Do you know what #cleandarkflat or #leavenotrace stands for and why it’s important on nesting sea turtle beaches? You have questions, we love to provide answers, so come on by!
Every child in attendance will receive a free goodie bag complete with a Jr. Ocean Ranger badge, activity book, and repurposed crayons in the shape of marine animals.
We also have a for-purchase fundraising merchandise table as well that includes the opportunity to paint a wooden sea turtle to take home, South Walton Turtle Watch bracelets, and lots of other fun stuff.
If you happen to find yourself in Rosemary Beach (lucky you!), you might see us on Tuesdays or Thursdays at The Hidden Lantern. Know why? WE LOVE SHARING ALL THINGS SEA TURTLES!
So bring the kiddos for a fun-filled story time and meet one of our teammates who is on FIRE to teach young ones ages 2-92. Ask in the store if you’ll see us that week!
