Pier into the Ocean (Kure Beach) Homeschool & Family Day May 29th 10am-12pm

During this two-hour program, families rotate between 3 different activites and lessons.  The 1st activity takes place on Kure Beach Pier and includes pier fishing with a fish anatomy lesson. Carolina Ocean Studies includes rod, bait, and a short fishing rod demo.  The 2nd activity is a squid dissection where families get icky (and INKY)! Children get up close and personal with this mollusk while learning the internal and external anatomy. The last activity is the dynamic SWASH ZONE, which is the area where the waves crash right on the shore.  While having firm boundaries set by instructors with adult help, children hunt for the elusive mole crabs (also nickname sand fleas) under the retreating waves and shifting sand! 

***Please make sure to reserve an adult ticket for our manifest and there are required questions to fill out.

***Parents are more than welcome to help their child fish but due to limited resources, they cannot fish separately.  If any parent would like to fish on Kure Beach Pier, you can bring your own rod and purchase a $8 fishing pass in the pier house.
