2007 Summer Camping Program Activities & Classes
Seining & Nets – Campers pull
a seine net through the shallow water to catch whatever animals
live there.
Beach/Sea Turtles – Campers look for
shells and invertebrates that live on the beach while learning
about the forces that shape the beach. Special time will be
spent discussing the sea turtles that visit the Georgia coast.
Canoeing/Herpetology– Campers will
take a short drive over to Tidelands Nature Center (part of
the Jekyll Island 4-H Center located on the western side of
the island) to learn to canoe and to visit the nature center.
Special time will be spent discussing some of the reptiles
native to Georgia.
Marsh – Campers hike through the amazing
wetlands on the west side of Jekyll. Old shoes are a must
as everyone observes the native invertebrates and birds who
spend there time in the marshes.
Beach Buffet/Maritime Forest – Campers
become chefs as they create fun sweets and treats with an
ocean theme. They will also take a quick hike through the
maritime forest promoting healthy lifestyles.
Biking/Historic District – Campers
bike along the interior of the Island and do a quick tour
of the historic district. This is a wonderful time for campers
to experience he unique ecosystem of palmettos and live oak
trees.
Summer Waves – Summer Waves is a
fully equipped water park with water slides, a wave pool,
and other ways to cool off in the water. Campers will spend
about half a day at Summer Waves.
St. Simons Island – St. Simons is
where we go for a half-day of shopping and fun. St. Simons
is the next island north of Jekyll Island. Campers will spend
time picnicking at a local park and then will walk to the
village for shopping.
Cookout and Luau – At the end of
one of our days at camp, we will have a cookout and luau.
Be sure to bring your appetite and colorful clothing.
Canteen – Jekyll Island 4-H Center
has its own souvenir and snack shop. We sell T-shirts, hats,
and other souvenir items, as well as snacks and drinks to
get you through a day of activities.
Beach Swim – A trip to the Georgia
coast is incomplete without a trip to the beach for a swim.
