Jones Island Summer Day Camp: ISLAND LIFE

Monday, June 30, 2014 
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Hammocks Beach State Park, Swansboro

Come explore island life with us on Jones Island! Take a boat ride to this coastal treasure and learn about the people who once inhabited it as well as the plants and animals that live there today. Day campers will learn about coastal ecosystems, Native American influences, and coastal critters through hands-on activities in the estuary, marsh, and maritime forests. Campers will also work to complete an environmental stewardship project and earn their Junior Ranger certification through Hammocks Beach State Park.

Day camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the cost is $30 per child. It is targeted for rising 6th - 8th graders. Campers should arrive at Hammocks Beach State Park Visitor Center by 9 a.m. They will then be ferried over to Jones Island by Park staff and will return to the Visitor Center for pickup by 3 p.m.

Campers should bring their own lunch, and wear or bring clothes that will get wet, closed-toe shoes (required), a towel, a hat, and sunscreen. Snacks and water will be provided.

Registration is required (maximum of 20).
