Holiday Elf Camp

December 2007

Looking for something fun this holiday season? The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher is offering three Holiday Elf Camps this year for ages 7-10 years old. Our elves will be making gifts, wrapping them, meeting other elves, and making some extra special memories here at the aquarium. The camps are offered December 1 st, 8 th, and 15 th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This fun and educational program gives adult elves guilt-free time for holiday shopping or relaxation.

The program fee of $50 includes aquarium admission, pizza lunch, snacks, crafts, holiday gift-wrap, instruction, and countless wonderful memories. Register early at (910) 458-7468 or NCAFF.registrar@ncmail.net to get the date you want.

As part of the N.C. Birding Trail, the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher and surrounding historical and recreation sites offer an excellent way to spend the day exploring a variety of bird habitats, in both developed and undeveloped areas. Along with the trails at the aquarium, the Fort Fisher area offers birders approximately 2,000 acres of undeveloped beachfront, coastal forest, dunes and tidal marshes. As a prime stop on many birds’ migratory paths, Fort Fisher offers visitors the chance to see a large variety of migratory and native bird species.
