We are thrilled to share with you all that we recently completed the process of refreshing our logos for Trinity Center with the help of our Board and a designer! This refreshed dolphin logo was created with much thought and intention, so that we could maintain the dignity of the dolphins that we all love so much.

Camp Trinity has had another wonderful and fun-filled summer! On July 18, 2022, Camp Trinity was visited by the American Camping Association (ACA) for its Standards Visit (scheduled once every five years). Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally recognized program focuses on program quality and health and safety issues and requires us to review every facet of our operation.  We are thrilled to report that Camp Trinity did amazing in all areas!

We will be opening Summer 2023 registration in early November. All applications, forms, and brochure will be available for download on our website. We are also happy to mail forms to anyone who requests them. Campers from last summer will automatically receive them in the mail.

 We are also excited to announce that the Camp Trinity Winter Retreat will be back this January! This is a youth event for grades 8-12 and will be held January 13-15, 2023. What if you’ve never attended Camp Trinity before? That’s completely okay too – this can be a wonderful way to welcome you to Camp Trinity! Forms and more information will be available in November. We are thrilled to have this event back on the calendar.

More than ever, I continue to be overwhelmed by the blessings of Camp Trinity, and I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the diocese by being a part of this wonderful place. To all who helped camp along its way this past summer, you have my deepest gratitude. To the summer staff of 2022 goes a special thank you; I will never forget your dedication, love, and hard work.

Camp Trinity has an online store that you can purchase cool camp gear year-round, and with the holidays coming up, we have great gifts available for your campers! The best part: all profits from the store go directly back into the Camp Trinity Scholarship Fund.

In August of 2023, Trinity Center will invite former Sound to Sea Educators and their families back to our hallowed grounds not to work, but to learn and play. We will celebrate Sound to Sea turning 30 this year in Sound to Sea style: current Sound to Sea staff will conduct classes on the Sound, Forest, and Pond as well as put on our evening programs like Beach Walk Turtle Talk, Whales and Whalers, and, of course, Outer Banks Songs and Stories by the campfire.

Sound to Sea has been offering environmental education programs to students from NC and beyond since 1992.

In that time, we have had the privilege of welcoming over 245 Instructors to live and work here at Trinity Center. Sound to Sea’s mission statement reads, “The Sound to Sea Environmental Education Program at Trinity Center is committed to using hand on activities to meet each group’s educational needs and to increase awareness of communities. We increase awareness of ecological communities by utilizing the habitats on property, and human communities by promoting positive group dynamics.”

The Sound to Sea staff models how to live in community every day that they are here. During the school year, our staff routinely work form 8 in the morning until 9 at night. They have to work as a team to teach and care for up to 96 students at a time. After spending all of this time together during long work hours they can often be found hanging out around a campfire, camping, hiking, or just cooking together and hanging out during their down time.

In 2017 we hosted the 25th anniversary reunion. Each staff member is given the opportunity to add to the program while they teach here. It was so fun to watch the staff from the ’90s step into our life-sized inflatable whale as well as experience the old standbys like fishing in the sound with their own children.

We are looking forward to sharing some of our new programs, such as learning about icky creatures with our soon-to-be education opossum!
