Education

Cape Hatteras National Seashore is a great place for students to explore a variety of subjects--from barrier island ecology to North Carolina history. 


Explore the park during a class field trip, on your own, or with a park ranger.  If your school is unable to come to the park, then bring the park to your classroom with our lesson plans.
