An Evening in the Estuary Family Boat Program

Tailored to elementary and middle school-aged children and their guardian(s), "An Evening in the Estuary" includes a boat ride through the Croatan Sound to a marsh island two nautical miles from CSI’s campus. CSI Educators lead the group in fun, coastal science-based activities that will have you wading shallow waters, surveying sandy shores, and exploring the grassy uplands. Participants of all ages will learn about estuarine biology and ecology, investigate plant and animal adaptations, seine for critters, demonstrate food webs, and more.
