Address: H2O
Watery ecosystems are the focus of this camp. Campers explore how aquatic habitats support a variety of life, and how it all interacts to share the same space. Through fun activities and crafts, campers become junior biologists.
Life on Planet Ocean
When 70% of the planet is covered by ocean, it seems strange to call our planet “earth!” Oceans control weather, produce oxygen, and provide a home for a vast array of marine life. Campers meet and learn about the strange and beautiful creatures living in Planet Ocean through activities and crafts.
Amazing Animals
Icy cold mountain streams, rivers, lakes, ponds and salty seas: How can animals survive in so many different places? Adaptation is the name of the game and the focus of this camp. Campers learn about and meet some of N. C. amazingly well adapted animals through field trips, games, crafts, and role-playing.
New! Coastal Crusaders for ages 13-14
