Beaufort County Boys & Girls Club members are participating in a collaborative 2-week camp with ECU School of Nutrition Science/FoodMASTER and Love A Sea Turtle. The camp takes place on campus, in the woods, on the river and at the coast!

We attached Stow It-Don’t Throw It monofilament recycling containers on our kayaks during River Quest. They were used a lot! Now we’ll dispose of the fishing line properly!

We’ll take 1 day of rest from our 100 mile kayak journey and then begin a summer of outdoor environmental camps to emphasize our upstream downstream connection.

Summer camps begin on Monday! We’ll be emphasizing our Upstream Downstream Connection all summer long!

100+ miles of kayaking, water testing, and documenting plants, animals and trees.
