Seacoast Science Center offers family, adult eco-adventure trips

RYE – Seacoast Science Center has been offering custom-designed ecoadventure travel since 2011. In 2024, SSC is offering two eco-adventures: one designed for families and one specifically planned for adults. Trip itineraries are carefully crafted so participants experience the most significant and impactful activities and landmarks in coastal regions across the globe. While learning about the natural environment, culture and sustainability practices firsthand is the primary goal of the trips, there is always time factored in for travelers to choose activities that are most meaningful to them.
