SUMMARY:Horseshoe Crab Derby: Second Saturday Kids Program
DESCRIPTION:Horseshoe Crab Derby: Second Saturday Kids Program\nGet ready to race! This month’s Second Saturday kids program is a hands-on horseshoe crab craft and derby at Bayshore Center at Bivalve. Young makers will design\, build\, and decorate their very own horseshoe crab\, then put it to the test in our Horseshoe Crab Derby. Will yours be the first to reach the beach? \nWhat to Expect at Our Horseshoe Crab Craft Derby\nKids start by building and decorating their crab\, then everyone lines up for the big race. Along the way\, they’ll learn why the Delaware Bay is so important to horseshoe crabs. It’s home to the largest horseshoe crab spawning population in the world. Kids will be able to craft their horseshoe crab with the materials provided and take their new friend home with them. \nWhy Horseshoe Crabs Matter on the Delaware Bay\nHorseshoe crabs have been around for more than 400 million years\, which makes them older than the dinosaurs! Despite their name\, they aren’t true crabs. They’re more closely related to spiders and scorpions. Every late spring\, horseshoe crabs come ashore on Delaware Bay beaches to lay their eggs\, and those eggs are an important food source for migrating shorebirds like the red knot. Our horseshoe crab craft is a fun way for kids to learn about one of the Bay’s most important animals. Then next spring\, they can keep an eye out for the real thing on the beach. \nEvent Details\nDate: Saturday\, November 14\, 2026\nTime: 11:00 AM\nLocation: Bayshore Center at Bivalve\, Port Norris\, NJ\nAdmission: • Members: $15• Non-members: $10 \nAll materials are provided. Just bring yourself and enjoy the experience. \nMake a Day of It\nGrownups\, stick around! Our adult program\, Bayshore Bingo\, starts at 1:00 PM. RSVP on our Facebook event. \nPlan Your Visit\nAdditionally\, participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to get settled before the workshop begins. \nRSVP on Facebook to receive event reminders\, updates\, and announcements leading up to the workshop. \nLooking for more educational and creative programs?
