Adventure and Discovery Await !
Join the RTP Estuary Center and spend the summer where science, nature and art combine with fun! While each session has a natural science focus, your child will be busy discovering animals and plants, conducting hands-on experiments, making new friends and enjoying outdoor activities. Each week campers will participate in week long projects on a topic relevant to the week’s theme. Campers ages 5 to 13 will participate in hands-on curriculum tailored to meet each child’s interest and skills. Campers are organized in groups based on their ages.
