Did you know that Trinity Center was created from two separate camps: Camp Leach and Camp Oceanside? In 1930 under Bishop Darst, a property was acquired on the Pamlico River in Washington to build Camp Leach as the Diocese of East Carolina's first camp and conference center. Camp Leach was home to the first Summer Camp for youth that was initially only for white children.

Trinity Center's Dining and Food Services Department is excellent at accommodating even the toughest dietary needs and/or restrictions. As long as we know about your needs in advance, our staff strives to meet every guest's needs in order to make the dining experience successful.

Camp Trinity is now preparing for our 2022 summer camping program and cannot wait to have campers back onto property! We are proud to offer our accreditation by the American Camping Association as a symbol of our excellence in programming and staff. Registration for our Summer 2022 programs is ongoing. See below to learn more about our day and overnight camp sessions!

Did you know?!? Camp Trinity has an online store that you can purchase cool camp gear year-round. The best part?! All profits from the store go directly back into the Camp Trinity Scholarship Fund.

Scooter is a local celebrity: we have heard reports that when a teacher asked her students what their favorite wild animal was, Scooter's name came up! This homebody is not ready for a major life of fame on the road; road life apparently makes him cranky! Scooter was, of course, a hit when the Icky Creatures program went on the road to schools here in NC, but Scooter is happy to be home for a while. He is a very food-motivated fellow, and like most turtles he has a tendency to want to overeat. To keep him in tip-top shape, Scooter has an exercise regimen that you can see in the video to the right. He loves his walks in the field (See the video to the right to see his speed!), as well as time in the sun and with his StS buddies. Scooter's gearing up for summer day camp, and we know he can't wait to see all of his friends again!

Registration for our Summer Sound to Sea is ongoing! Let our Environmental Day Camp pull your kids out of the summer vacation doldrums. We offer half-week and full-week summer camp programs to rising 1st through 6th graders. Each session allows kids the opportunity to learn about the habitats on Bogue Banks and join in games, crafts and activities with ecological themes!

Sound to Sea went on the road this spring, going to schools in Boone, Chapel Hill, Burnsville, and more! We offered four programs for schools to choose from: Icky Creatures, Whales and Whalers, Squid Dissections, Comparative Dissections, and Birds of Prey. Students and teachers alike had a blast learning through the programs and hands-on activities, and it was so wonderful to take StS programs to schools that couldn't make the trip here. Thank you to our instructors who logged over 2,622 miles and our amazing participants!
