Harbor Kids Club
Program starts late June through Labor Day weekend and offered every day.
Kids' will love playing, exploring and making new island friends with kids their age and our entertaining activity leaders! We do all the great Vineyard summer fun stuff like you did when you were a kid. Arts and crafts, field trips, playing soccer, tag, kite flying, tossing water balloons, and chasing fire flies. Don't forget going down to the beach to look for hermit crabs and building sandcastles! Harbor Kids participants are always active participants and get lots of great outdoor exercise. We’re prepared for rainy days with plenty of indoor activities as well.

Occasioanl Field Trips offered for Harbor Kids
Explore the Shore
Children, children what do you see? What really lives down there, “under the sea”?
Kids who love to explore always wonder what really lives, under the sea. Your children will have an opportunity to use masks and nets to see and capture crabs, seaweeds and fish that call Poucha Pond home. Find fish, non-stinging jellyfish, crabs, shrimp and sea worms! Nets, masks, snorkels and instruction are all provided. Please have water shoes and shorts you don’t mind getting wet.
Felix Neck Trek
Seashore, forest, pond, field, and marsh adventures await! Activities will vary weekly, go on a quest and discover the history of Felix Neck or be nature detectives and look for evidence that animals have left behind. There’s something to discover even if it’s raining, participants can explore our Discovery Room and look at our live turtles, and salt water tank animals. Participants should be prepared to be outside on the trails for the entire program time. We recommend sneakers or sandals that have backs (no flip-flops). Mosquitoes are present in the summer months, guests should wear lightweight long pants and long sleeve shirts, or bring their own bug repellent (wipes and lotions are preferred over sprays).
World of Reptiles and Bird Park
Kids who like all kinds of animals really love this one! See New England’s largest snapping turtle and visit naturalist Gus Ben David and his immaculate Vineyard facility that houses the largest snakes on display in the United States. See endangered cranes and real eagles! This unique education program allows children to get up close and personal with unique creatures from around the world and those native to Martha’s Vineyard.
