The staff of the NC Maritime Museum and the Rachel Carson Reserve are pairing up to create this unique camp that combines history and science to understand the local maritime environment, culture, legends and history of the coast. Topics covered will include sea monsters, plankton, cetaceans, pirates and more! Students will be asked to participate in field trips to local sites such as Beaufort’s Old Burying Ground and participate in hands-on experiments including small creature dissections and chocolate chip excavations. July 22nd - 26th, 9:00 a.m. to noon. Advance registration required.

The Reserve partners with the NC Maritime Museum, located in Beaufort, to offer Summer Science School for children. The goal of the program is to offer students the opportunity to learn about the natural and maritime history of coastal North Carolina through creative, hands-on experiences.
