Children's Summer School

Children's Summer School is an activity in Swedish for children who want to learn more about marine life. Together with marine biologists from Tjärnö, children can carry out their own investigations and experiments. The aim is to gain an insight into the everyday life of a scientist while having fun together.

Two mornings of discovery

During Children's Summer School, children make scientific discoveries in the marine environment. We spend one morning on the beach and the next morning indoors at the Tjärnö Laboratory. 

The children should bring swimwear and a towel on the first day, and a light snack on both days.

Since most participating kids are Swedish-speaking, we communicate mainly in Swedish. With non-Swedish speaking kids in the group we will do our best to also communicate in English.

For whom?

In the summer of 2026, we accept children born no earlier than 2015 and no later than 2019.

We refer parents and other relatives to other activities at Tjärnö Laboratory.
