We are excited to resume hosting Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer Summer Day Camp! Your children can connect with new friends, discover new activities, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Through sports, swimming, crafts, and fun games, our counselors teach lessons that promote our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility all while having fun and ensuring a safe environment for your children.
Parents, we know your child’s safety is your number one priority so you can rest assured that we are consistently following CDC and NCDHHS guidelines when it comes to running our day camp. We will have enhanced cleaning, social distancing, and health screening protocols in place to take care of our staff and participants. Although day camp may look a bit different from recent years due to the protocols, you can still count on the same safe, meaningful, and fun-filled camp that you’ve come to know and trust.
