The camp
Local kids deserve the best summer.
We want the young children in Nags Head to have the best experience. No phones, no tablets, no screens — just kids playing with kids, doing crafts and activities outside while parents get a few quiet hours of their own.
Why families come back
Half a day, fully spent.
01
Daily themes
Six weeks. Six worlds.
Every week of the summer dives into one piece of the Outer Banks ecosystem — barrier islands, ocean & sound, wild horses, dunes, maritime forest. Campers leave knowing the place they're standing in.
02
No screens
Phones stay in the bag.
No phones, no tablets, no "educational" apps. Just sand, kids, counselors, and the small wild things you find when you're actually paying attention.
03
Flexible booking
Book a day. Or all summer.
Single days, full weeks, or the whole season — book what works for your trip. Daily caps keep group sizes reasonable so kids actually know each other by the end of camp.
Signature curriculum
Junior Coastal Keepers
Six themed weeks of hands-on learning across the barrier-island ecosystem. Campers explore one habitat at a time — and earn a Coastal Keepers patch by season's end.
Week 01
Barrier Islands & the Shore
How the Outer Banks were built — and how they keep moving. Kids walk the beach reading what the tide left behind.
Week 02
Ocean & Sound Ecosystems
Two bodies of water, two different worlds. Salt vs. brackish, fast vs. slow, what lives where, and why it matters.
Week 03
Wildlife of the OBX
Horses, turtles, birds and more - learn what's thriving and what's surviving at the beach.
Week 04
Dunes, Wind & Sand
Sea oats, sand fences, and shifting hills. Why dunes are the Outer Banks' best line of defense.
Week 05
Maritime Forest & Birds
Step inland and the world goes quiet. Live oaks, loblolly pines, and the migrating birds that pass through every summer.
From OBX families
Tired campers. Happy parents.
My daughter went to camp the last couple weeks and absolutely loved it. She came home with sandy feet and full of stories. Already booked for next summer.
— OBX summer family · Two-week camper
Four hours a day to actually unpack the rental, breathe, and have a real coffee — and the kids come back tired and happy. It's the best schedule we've ever had on a beach trip.
