I found this info while searching for new places to camp. Our troop has camped on Assateague a number of times, and we love it. The Park is now adding extra Day camps for fun in the sun things to do while learning!

Are you up for the challenge? Come out and learn about the nature of barrier islands, pirates, shipwrecks, and more. This session

investigates basic survival skills and the preservation of nature.

On the oceanside, basic campfire safety will be studied and tribes will be formed. Participants may use their imaginations to construct

team names, flags, and bandanas. Afterwards, a recycling challenge will be held to see who can create the most resourceful project out

of trash collected on the beach. On the bayside, Maryland native species will be explored, while canoe and kayak safety and paddling

techniques will be taught. Can you survive on Assateague Island?
