Bald Head Island Conservancy Summer Camp 2024

By Jennifer Wiggen, Senior Educator

We are so excited to discover and learn with your children this spring and summer through our nature-based camp experiences at the Bald Head Island Conservancy! Feeling connected to nature, especially to the animals and plants we share Bald Head Island with, is the best way to appreciate and learn about this amazing barrier island!

Nature camp at the Bald Head Island Conservancy will immerse your child in barrier island ecology as they explore the maritime forest, salt marsh and beach environments. Campers learn through outdoor activities, nature-based art, games and community science, all while developing a deeper connection and understanding to the natural world around them.

Camp activities will include things like visiting the maritime forest habitats, learning about salt marsh ecology, and diving into sea turtle conservation. We’ll take campers birding, on tidal explorations, plant identification hikes, searching for animal tracks and so much more. Campers will be able to interact with our education animals, which include box turtles, yellow-bellied sliders, corn snakes and a musk turtle! Everyday is a new adventure with camp, and no two days are the same!

Spring camp registration opens February 28th, and summer camp registration will be available April 1st. Please contact Programs@bhic.org if you have any questions!
