Shiver Me Timbers (Durham)


  • Piedmont Wildlife Center 364 Leigh Farm Road Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

Have you ever wanted to sail the seven seas? Even though we are all landlubbers at PWC, we can still experience some of the thrills of being a pirate. Whittle your own peg leg, create your own Jolly Roger, build your own boat to race in the creek, and more. By the end of the week, we will all be best mateys!

This summer, join your friends at Piedmont Wildlife Center as we connect with nature (and each other!) at our award-winning outdoor camps. Explore some of the Triangle’s best parks, play exciting forest games, go creek crawling, meet native NC wildlife, and more. Experience the Best Summer Camp in Durham (INDY Week Best of Durham 2023) for yourself this summer!

To all our old-timers and newcomers, we are excited to welcome you back into the wild!
