Education Programme Activities

At Cayman Turtle Centre, we have a wide range of personnel expertise available to assist with Education Programme Activities: from Accountants, Biologists and Engineers, to Food & Beverage and Marketing.

Class/Orientation Presentations

Basic lesson plans include an interactive presentation in the education room, which can range from a quick overview of "the Centre’s exhibits" to a detailed topic lecture by the education guide. This is followed by guided tour of subject-appropriate exhibits or other relevant outdoor activities.
