Dune Ranger Discovery Camp at Jockey's Ridge State Park is an engaging and educational summer program for children in grades 3–6. Held July 29–31 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. daily, the three-day camp introduces young explorers to the park’s unique coastal environment through hands-on activities. Participants climb the towering sand dunes, explore maritime forests, paddle on the Roanoke Sound, create nature-inspired crafts, play games, and take part in stewardship projects while learning about the park’s ecology. By the end of the camp, kids earn the title of “Dune Ranger.” The program is free to attend, but pre-registration is required. See the event website for details.

Take a trip around the Alligator River Refuge and learn about the wild lands and wildlife. Bring your binoculars and camera! Drinking water and insect repellent are also recommended. The program will proceed, except in the event of lightning, heavy wind, rain, or impassable road conditions. Dress for the weather! Meet at Creef Cut Wildlife Trail parking lot, Hwy 64 and Milltail Road, approximately 6 miles west of Manns Harbor. Call 252-216-9464 for reservations.

Alligator River Refuge Tram Tour $10 per adult. Children 12 and under are free with one or more paying adults. Reservations required. Tram seating is limited.
