"Man's mind, once stretched by a new
experience, never regains its original dimensions."...Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Nature, history
and outstanding programs and equipment combine to form an ideal
learning environment here. Pocosin forests, broad bays, estuaries, creeks, wetlands and sandy
shores make it convenient to observe nature. And there's so much nature to
observe with a diverse wildlife population—both on land and in
water—and a variety of native trees, shrubs and smaller plants.
The well-equipped CP&L
Wet Lab is icing on the cake, providing an ideal place to take
a closer look at those samples of plants and creatures.
Nearly 500 years
of history come alive in nearby villages—from the first English
settlement in Manteo to colonial history in Edenton and plantation
history at Pettigrew. Walk through these sites and bring history
to life for any age group.
Explorers at the
Center learn to find their way with a compass, string a bow, or
use ropes to climb and maneuver high in the tree tops. Our Marine Sciences and Sailing Camp or our Leaders in
Training/Counselors in Training Camp create ideal environments for
intense learning that feels more like fun. Our well-trained staff is always on hand to help
with specialized equipment. Whether it's in the CP&L Wet Lab
or high in the trees, the Eastern 4-H Center gives you wings to expand your
horizons in a safe, no-pressure learning environment.
