Blue Jay Point offers enjoyable and educational staff-led Public Programs on a wide array of environmental, natural history, cultural and recreational topics for families and individual members of the public – all the way from 30-minute parent/child toddler story times through day-long adult professional environmental education workshops, with everything in between. There is something for everyone! Almost all programs require preregistration, so be sure to check.

Group Programs

Blue Jay’s trained education staff provides curriculum based on-site group programming for public, private and homeschool groups, day care, camp and track out groups, plus scouts, 4-H groups, senior groups and more. All program content is specific to Piedmont North Carolina. Designed with the learning outcomes for that particular group in mind, these programs are free and may be reserved up to one calendar year in advance. For grade and group-specific information, please check out our Group Programs page.

Blue Jay Point hosts several age-specific mini-camps throughout the summer. Campers are offered a variety of outdoor explorations complimented by in-depth and hands-on investigations in a classroom setting. Games, crafts, activities and camp camaraderie are all part of the fun. Camp topics, dates and fees for the coming summer are posted HERE in early January.

Blue Jay hosts several Major Events each year – Songbird Celebration is held annually while Night Owls and Candle Magic or the Winter Open House are offered on alternating years. Don’t forget our annual Big Sweep volunteer lakeside cleanup event!
