Lifelong Adventure: Topsail Island Sea Turtle

  • 1:30pm Monday, August 19, 2024 - 3:00pm Wednesday, August 21, 2024

Learn about sea turtles and possibly witness the hatching of sea turtles on Topsail Island. Participants will spend evenings on the beach “nest sitting” — waiting for baby loggerhead sea turtles to leave their sandy nests. Daytime hours can be spent swimming, beach combing or catching up on sleep. We will also visit the Topsail Sea Turtle Hospital to learn about their work caring for sick and injured sea turtles.

Please note: You will be required to enter the following information for each registrant before you can complete your registration: emergency contact, physician contact and health information (allergies, conditions, medications relevant to this field experience).
