The camp likewise included a visit to the Point Culture Gallery, where trainees engaged with innovators coming from the historical Gullah Geechee community of Pin Point. The camp concluded with a boat trip to Wassaw Island, where pupils noted the results of water level increase on a primitive barricade island and also reviewed these observations along with earlier results from metropolitan atmospheres. Funding from the NASA's Science Activation Plan and its Water Level Learning, Understanding, as well as Literacy (TAPE) team ensured that the camping ground came to all students, removing economic barricades for groups typically underrepresented in stalk learning.
