This episode covers a LOT, so put on that life vest! Imagine standing on a narrow gravel path with cold Atlantic water rushing in from both sides, covering the ground faster than you think 🌊. Welcome to Acadia’s coastline, where nothing stays still!

We dive deep in to tides and tidal creatures with superpowers. You think you have weird neighbors? Wait until you hear about the housing swap 🐌 , the creature that eats with it's feet, and the inside out digestion. Stay for the end when we learn about the key feature of Acadia that explodes💥!

Parents & Educators: This episode is perfect for kids ages 6–12 and covers key Earth Science and STEM concepts including tidal physics, how the moon's gravity pulls the ocean, and the wild world of marine animal adaptations.

THANK YOU to the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society for sharing their audio of harbor seal pups. Visit their website to preview these cute seal pups and adopt one today!

🎒Scout mission included! Experience our fun mission thats great for trips or the backyard with your family.

Ever wanted to be the very first person in the country to see the sunrise? Today we do just that on top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park!

In this episode, we dig into the pink rocks under our feet to uncover a 420-million-year-old mystery. Discover why Acadia is shaped like a failed volcano, how a mile-thick wall of solid ice completely remodeled the park, and why there is a 28,000-pound gray boulder balancing on the edge of a pink cliff.

Loon audio graciously provided by Dr Jay Mager of Ohio Northern University.

Parents & Educators: This episode is perfect for kids ages 6–12 and covers key Earth Science and STEM concepts including geology (igneous rock formation), glaciology (how glaciers reshape landscapes), and animal adaptations.

🎒Scout mission included! Experience our fun mission thats great for trips or the backyard with your family.

🏕️ If you could go anywhere to watch the sunrise, where would you go?

What animal is faster than a race car, a sky diver, or any living thing on Earth? Answer: The Peregrine Falcon 🦅

Join us on the cliffs of Acadia National Park while we check out this bird that's designed like a fighter jet. We cover the Peregrine's super powers that keep it alive at the record speed of 242 miles per hour, the invisible chemical threat that almost wiped them out completely, and the genius comeback plan that brought Peregrine Falcons back to the east coast.

Parents & Educators: This episode is perfect for kids ages 6–12 and covers key STEM concepts including food chains, animal adaptations, and environmental conservation.

🎒Scout mission included! Experience our fun mission thats great for trips or the backyard with your family.

🏕️ If you could name the next Peregrine Falcon chick, what would you name it?
