SOUND TO SEA
TRINITY CENTER’S ENVIRONMENTAL
SUMMER DAY CAMP
This summer, youth will explore the habitats on
Trinity Center’s 62-acre property. They use dip
nets in the sound and pond to find out more
about the biology of the various creatures that
creep, swim and crawl on a barrier island. The
Rising Kindergarten Only Camp
June 8-10
Due to popular demand, we have created a half day
camp just for rising Kindergarten campers. This camp
will run Wednesday June 8 through Friday June 10,
9:00-12:00 daily. Register early-only 30 spaces available.

look, as we keep some of the marine organisms
Summer Sound to Sea will offer the Junior Counselor
Program again this year. This opportunity is available
for former campers in rising 7-9th grade. We have three
spots open for each session of the summer. Our Junior
Counselors will team up with an instructor. They will
have leadership responsibilities like helping to get
activities ready, playing games or choosing which
rousing song to sing! They will get to fish from the
sound, net in the pond and explore the forest perhaps
even running some of the activities! Of course the end
of their day will be hanging out with kids either at the
beach or the pool. What could be a better way to
spend a summer afternoon? The cost of the program is
$200. Don’t forget to bring your own lunch, as we will
eat on the pavilion Summer Sound to Sea style!
found in the sound in our on-site aquariums.
The campers also have the chance to explore the
maritime forest and learn about the animals that
live among the cedars, live oaks and pines. In
the afternoon, campers use items they have
collected on the trails to create all kinds of art
and music. And lastly, no beach camp would be
complete without some time on the sand. So
each camp day finishes with water time either on
the beach or at the pool, to rest and think about
the day’s activities.
THEME WEEKS

“icky” creatures native to our island while dispelling

SOUND TO SEA: Program Details
All of our week long sessions accommodate a maximum
of 36 youth divided into 3 groups of 12 campers (based
on age). An experienced Sound to Sea Instructor leads
each small group. Our Sound to Sea Staff includes
qualified teaching personnel with college degrees in
related fields such as biology, chemistry, education,
marine science and botany. We accept day campers
from rising 1st to rising 6th grade. Generally, campers
are grouped as follows: rising 1st and 2nd graders,
rising 3rd and 4th graders, and rising 5th and 6th
graders. Summer Day Camp runs Monday to Friday
9am to 4pm, but there are some abbreviated sessions
(see this year’s sessions for details). One of these short
sessions accommodates rising Kindergarteners in a 9am12pm program.
