Family Weekend on Hurricane Island
The Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership is excited to be hosting its second Family Weekend in fall 2017! The summer weekend was such a big hit we decided to offer another opportunity for families to join us on the island. This weekend is for families to unplug and experience our off-shore and off-the-grid island together as they explore, learn, and connect with each other and other families. Science programming options will be offered each day and families will also have time to play along the shore line, hike our trails, and even jump off our pier to take a quick swim in the ocean. Come join our island community and make memories that will last a lifetime. $200/person; all ages; children under 3 FREE!!
