Aquatic Adventures Summer Day Camps at the Aquarium

Campers will have waves of fun as they dive into science with the Aquarium and enhance their knowledge of Outer Banks nature and marine life. Each week, children will embark on local field trips to explore the beach environment, collect animals in the salt marsh, splash on a snorkeling adventure, trek through a maritime forest, and go fishing from a local pier. Campers will also make a camp T-shirt, meet Aquarium residents up close, make new friends, and conclude their week with a Friday evening event at the Aquarium.
