Bringing your class to Cape Lookout National Seashore can be a rewarding experience, but careful planning is essential to a successful visit.  Only the Harkers Island Visitor Center is reached by vehicle, all other parts of the park are reached through small ferries.  The seashore itself is relatively undeveloped with few visitor comforts.

Classes enjoy their visit the most when they have pre-planned activities. These can be pre-arranged Ranger programs or hands-on activities that coordinate with classroom studies.

If this is your first time coming out to the park with your class, the following checklists should help with your planning.
