Young adventurers can learn all about a unique component of the distinctive Outer Banks environment by signing up for a week-long day camp that shines a spotlight on the waterfront environment. The Surf and Science Summer Camp is held throughout the summertime, and features a world of activities as well as a little education to make learning truly a joy.

The June 12th through June 23rd camp has a focus on Coastal Science: Estuaries, which means that kids will learn all about the local wildlife and natural elements that make up these delicate habitats. Throughout the week, campers can expect lots of outdoor fun and adventures, including explorations via the use of a pontoon boat and / or kayaking, a little snorkeling or fishing, and ample time along the water. The camps are open to visitors and locals alike who are 10-15 years old, and cost $250 per each unique weekly session. Advanced reservations are required, and parents will want to book as early as possible to secure a spot. Serving as a great way for young science and nature fans to learn something new, the Surf and Science Summer Camp is a cool combination of education, the Outer Banks landscape, and miles of fun.

American Pie

It was 1978 when Eddie and Lou Miller first opened Miller’s Seafood and Steakhouse. As a teenager, their son Brian spent his summers working in the restaurant, getting familiar with the family business. After college, Brian and his wife Beth came back to Kill Devil Hills and began working together at Miller’s. Brian and Beth officially purchased the restaurant from Eddie and Lou in 2007. A few years later they opened American Pie together, and both restaurants now carry on the Miller family tradition of quality, excellence and hospitality.

 

“I learned everything about the restaurant business from my parents,” Miller says. “They ran the business together for all those years, and now my wife and I are doing the same. “Throughout the summer, we’re feeding around 2,000 people a day in our two restaurants. It’s a challenge we embrace every season, and we get a lot of fulfillment from making it all work.”

 

The Millers focus on two main specialties: high quality foods and unparalleled service. Seafood at Miller’s is fresh and locally caught, and they serve high-quality Angus beef, fresh pastas and homemade desserts. At American Pie, guests enjoy hand-tossed pizzas and homemade ice cream.

 

“We put a lot of time and effort into ensuring the products we bring in are top-notch,” Miller says. “Our customers know that when they visit our restaurants, they’ll be getting the quality and consistency they’ve come to know and love.”
