Under the Sea: Art and Adventure

Currituck County 4-H is hosting a field trip to the NC Aquarium, where participants will explore fascinating marine life and dive into the art of fish printing (Gyotaku)!

This hands-on experience will allow kids to discover a variety of aquatic creatures up close while learning about their unique adaptations. After exploring the aquarium, participants will create their own fish prints, a traditional Japanese art form that captures the beauty of marine life through ink printing.

Participants will need to bring a bag lunch and meet at the NC Cooperative Extension Center located at 120 Community Way Barco. They will return from their fun day at 4:00pm.

There is a registration fee of $20.00. Payment can be made with a credit card via Eventbrite, or cash/check payable to NCSU. Checks and cash can be delivered to the Currituck Extension Office at 120 Community Way, Barco, NC 27917 within 5 days of registration.

All participants must also be enrolled in 4-H Online for the 2025 program year; the link to that portion of the registration process is https://v2.4honline.com/
