What We Do

Sound to Sea, the only residential environmental education program on the Outer Banks, offers school groups a habitat-based program, which includes multi-disciplinary hands-on activities, a Challenge Course, and special evening programs. In a typical year, over 100 school groups (more than 6000 students-grades 2-12, teachers and chaperones) explore our barrier island and its five habitats in Sound to Sea programs at Trinity Center. Sound to Sea benefits the school group academically and socially, both at Trinity Center and back at school. Teachers, students and chaperones valued our program, judging from comments on their evaluation forms:

I wanted my students to learn more about our NC Coastal ecology in a fun hands-on approach. The expectations were fulfilled beyond my wildest expectations! Courses were outstanding. The wealth of information, enthusiasm of instructors and beautiful campus/facility were WONDERFUL. - Teacher, Coopers Elementary
The students were able to explore their environment in a new way and more able to fully explore the world around them. I was able to see how the students could become better connected with the world around them. - Teacher, St. Leo Catholic School
Something I learned about myself is that I can make a change in the world. - Student, Apex Elementary
Sound to Sea was something that I didn’t know what to expect from it. However, I was blown away by not only the activities that we did, but all the effort that the counselors put into making our time here so special. You could really tell that they were trying to make our experience here as enjoyable and educational as possible. (They succeeded!) Because of this, I not only learned a ton more about our coast, but I also became more excited about the topic in general. So, I just wanted to say thanks for making our time here so special. - Student, Durham Academy
