Cape Hatteras National Seashore is pleased to provide virtual field trips for students across the county! Whether you live a great distance away, or a virtual visit just fits better with your schedule, our Rangers are always happy to accommodate.

If you are interested in this distance learning option, please fill out our Virtual Field Trip Request Form, located at the bottom of this page. Once received and reviewed, a park ranger will be in contact with you to set up your experience.

Presentations engage students through live video and interaction with a ranger in real time. Our primary programs focus on sea turtles and the Cape Hatteras Light Station. However, our rangers are flexible and open to providing information on a variety of topics! Just note what your students would like to learn about in your reservation form.
