4-H Land and Sea Adventure

We'll journey to the coast to explore the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, where we'll learn about the endangered red wolves and other fascinating wildlife. Then, we'll head to the N.C. Aquarium on Roanoke Island for an exclusive overnight experience—sleeping right in front of the breathtaking 285,000-gallon Graveyard of the Atlantic habitat. Throughout our stay, aquarium staff will lead us on behind-the-scenes tours and hands-on activities, making this an exciting and educational experience you won’t want to miss!
