The camp likewise consisted of a check out to the Pin Point Heritage Gallery, where students engaged along with forerunners coming from the historical Gullah Geechee community of Point. The camping ground concluded with a boat trip to Wassaw Island, where pupils noted the impacts of sea level surge on an undeveloped obstacle island and also contrasted these monitorings along with earlier findings coming from urban atmospheres. Backing coming from the NASA's Scientific research Activation Plan and its Sea Level Education And Learning, Recognition, and also Education (SEAL) team made sure that the camping ground was accessible to all trainees, dealing with economic barricades for groups generally underrepresented in stalk education and learning.
