In order to save your spot, a deposit of $125 is required. If your student participates in raising support for the 2025 Putt Putt Tournament Fundraiser, then your student will not owe the remaining balance.
What does raising support look like? Your student will be fully fundraised after recruiting a total of 8 Hole Sponsors and/or teams. For more information on how fundraising works, CLICK HERE.
The total cost of this trip without fundraising is $800.
If you have questions about the cost of the trip and/or fundraising, don’t hesitate to reach out to Zac!

Turtle Walk Tour
On Tuesday, June 24, we will go on a Turtle Walk Tour! We will talk about the life cycle, threats, and actions we can take to protect the loggerhead sea turtles that nest along the Carolina Coast. Then, we will walk along the beach to potentially observe either nesting adults or hatchlings with red lights!
Sunset Kayak Tour
On Wednesday, June 25, we will paddle from the camp to the Crab Dock in the marsh. With the tide in our favor, this two hour tour will go fast!

Students and chaperones will have separate bedrooms and bathroom arrangements.
The cabins are temperature-regulated and lofted off of the ground.
