The fees charged
for programs and services at MECA reflect our commitment
to involving the school community in affordable marine
education. The rates for school groups (public, private,
college, home-school, etc.) are subsidized to encourage
participation. Civic, conservation, scouts, and other non-school
groups are charged appropriately higher fees which more
accurately reflect operating costs for the services. Please
note the minimum group sizes listed. All groups below this
number will be charged for the minimum number or participants.
