Adventurous vacationers of all ages will love learning to ride the waves through the professional instructors at JC Surf Camp. Based in Wilmington, this established surf camp was built with the vision to pass on the love and skill of surfing to a new generation of boarders, and from classes to camps, the school delivers on its premise of providing fun and quality instruction.
There are a number of ways to learn from JC Surf Camp, starting with in-depth surf camps that are geared towards kids and teens, and which are held for multiple days during the summer season. Riders can also enjoy a little one-on-one or small scale instruction through the camp’s private or group lessons, which begin with a minimum of two hours for beginners, and which grow from there. For something different and new, riders can also sign up for stand-up paddle board lessons, which are available on a private or small group basis, and which covers the basics in an easy 1.5 hour class. Accessible for both young and young-at-heart riders, and able to accommodate both beginners and more advanced borders alike, JC Surf Camp is showing vacationers from all over the Cape Fear region just how fun, exciting, and easy riding the waves can be.

The Cape Fear Museum, (shorthand for the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science), has been educating and entertaining visitors for well over 100 years. Founded in 1898, the museum is the oldest operating museum in North Carolina, and welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Distinguished for its modern structure and Market Street location in the middle of Downtown Wilmington, the museum has a wealth of information on the history, wildlife and culture of the 50-square mile Cape Fear region. More than 50 thousand exhibits can be found within its brick and concrete walls, and patrons of all ages will surely find an exhibit or two that is engrossing, educational, and sheds new light on this essential coastal Carolina region.
Greenfield Lake Park is known as one of Wilmington’s coolest and most scenic destinations, and is a vast public park that’s located just south of the historic downtown area. Located on the western edge of Greenfield Lake, and just a stone’s throw from the Cape Fear Riverfront, this pretty public park is the perfect spot for hikers, birdwatchers, kayakers, and anyone who appreciates a natural vista to take a break from the bustling city and simply unwind.
