Experience is always a great way to open a young person’s eyes and spark new interests. To offer young adults a glimpse into the aquarium world, the South Carolina Aquarium offers a Job Shadow Program for students in grades 6 to 12. In this program, your child will have the opportunity to observe some of the jobs that keep an Aquarium humming – like aquarist, educator, or mammal behaviorist.
Job Shadow Day Dates
The Job Shadow Program will be offered on July 10 from 8 a.m.– 1 p.m. and the deadline to apply is June 26. *2024 dates coming soon!*
Following the deadline to register, the first fifteen registrants to sign up for our Job Shadow Day program will be contacted by phone or email to confirm that the student registration is complete. We will then provide specifics about the Shadow Day (time, activities, etc.) To register, students must complete the form below.
For questions, please contact teen programs coordinator, Shelley Shrader, at [email protected] or (843) 579–8604.
