Update for Spring 2024:
The Outreach Program at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island has been temporarily suspended due to staffing shortages. We are only taking program inquiries for Fall 2024 at this time. Please keep checking this website for changes to the status of our programming, and you can contact our Special Activities Coordinator for any questions in the meantime at 252-475-2327. Thank you for your understanding!
SCHOOL OUTREACH
We can bring the Aquarium to you! These grade specific programs are linked with North Carolina’s Essential Standards guidelines. If the words LIVE ANIMAL are included, we may bring one or more live animals to your classroom or program.
VIRTUAL TOURS
Want to bring the Aquarium to you using technology? Have a face-to-face talk with an Aquarium educator via the Internet--learn about specific animals or the whole Aquarium!
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
These titles are adaptable for mixed age groups, libraries, summer camps, scouts, festivals, adult groups, preschools, and more. A custom-made program, demonstration table, or assembly lecture can be created to suit your time and interests!
ADULTS ONLY
Why should kids have all the fun? Bring the aquarium to your meeting or workshop! Select from school programs, community group programs, or some that are designed just for adults. Program duration is flexible.
SCOUTS
Let us design a program that fits the needs of your group's badges, belt loops or try-its. Contact us to discuss your needs and ideas.
ANIMAL AMBASSADORS
We know you appreciate that the health and welfare of our animal ambassadors are of paramount importance to all of us--we cannot guarantee that an animal will be part of your program or we might need to make last minute substitutions for animals who need a day off or who can't travel too far!
