The interns are divided into two groups - Group A and Group B - for their training classes. Group A met at the Aquarium on Jan 22 and Group B met at the Aquarium on Jan 29. The kids had a great time to getting to know one another, learning about the Aquarium and meeting some of our animals friends.

Next up: training class on Feb 12th where we will be going for a sail on the Spirit of South Carolina in the Charleston Harbor. Can't wait!
