Carolina Tiger Rescue’s popular Twilight Tours run from March through October (Daylight Saving Time) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Tours are for adults only (guests ages 18 years and older). Twilight tours are a more intimate experience to meet CTR’s animals. During these tours, guests are the only visitors in the sanctuary. The day’s work is done, and the guests have the sanctuary all to themselves. Enjoy a quiet evening with the cats, and you might just be lucky enough to be serenaded by the lions! After all, they are still wild animals! As with all their tours, they cannot guarantee what the cats will do, but it’s hard to have a bad evening with the animals.
The 2026 schedule will begin on Sun, Mar 8, and run through Sat, Oct 31. The timeframe provided in this event listing is an estimate – please check your tickets for the exact time slot. Your Twilight Tour will last for about 1 ½ hours. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Trained volunteer tour guides will walk you through the animal sanctuary. You will learn about the various species living at Carolina Tiger Rescue and the challenges they face in the wild, as well as the difficulties they encounter in captivity. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and take photos, but please note that there will be no physical contact with the animals.
Advance tickets are required for attendees (no walk-ins available). Tours are offered from April to October on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, rain or shine. The cost is $32 per person, and a maximum of 25 people may attend each tour. Tickets are available 8 weeks before your visit.

Join Clapping Hands Farm for their Spring 2026 Homeschool Camp, hosted every Thursday, Mar 5-Apr 16, 9am-3:30pm. Clapping Hands is an arts and nature camp and retreat with a special love for community. Our homeschool camp workshops include visual arts, crafts, music, theater, and dance, as well as engineering, building, nature exploration, game creation, and more!
GENERAL SCHEDULE

Camp opens with games, Morning Circle, and morning workshops in focus groups. Each session will have at least two Morning Workshop Focus Groups; campers choose one Focus Group to join for the entire 6-week session.
Lunch.
Anything Goes and all-camp activities in the afternoon. Activities are different each day, are based on campers’ requests, and include opportunities to explore both focus groups. In other words, if you are interested in both Focus Groups, you can sign up for one of them for the morning and still be able to “taste” the others during Anything Goes.
Buddy Group check-in and a Closing Circle before departure.

See this page for this program’s Focus Groups.
DETAILS AND LOGISTICS
Camp is $400 per child, with full and partial scholarships available. Homeschool Camp serves children and teens ages 8-16. They accept older campers who are interested in their Focus Group topics. They also accept younger campers on a case-by-case basis. Parents, adults, and older teens are also needed as Counselors or Volunteers. Parent volunteers at Homeschool camp do so much to make this program fantastic!
Camp at Clapping Hands Farm takes place outdoors for the most part. They generally run camp in all weather conditions unless there are hazardous driving conditions or it is cold AND wet. In other words, if it’s raining and 70 degrees, they will have camp. If it’s 30 degrees and not raining, we will have camp. But if it’s 40 degrees and raining, they will skip camp and use their weather make-up day (Thu, Apr 23). During the winter session, they will have a heated studio available that can accommodate one group. Please note that no class will take place on Thu, Apr 2.

Welcome spring on the farm at Buck Naked Farm with a March Tulip Centerpiece Workshop on Sun, Mar 22, 1pm-3pm. March ushers in some of the most magical flowers of the year — tulips in soft, painterly shades. This hands-on workshop celebrates the beauty, movement, and whimsy of early spring blooms just before Easter. Together, you’ll create a seasonal tulip arrangement using a fresh mix of farm-grown tulips, natural foliage, and textural elements that highlight everything we love about spring flowers: their curve, their character, and the way they seem to dance in the vase.
You’ll learn simple, meaningful design techniques that make tulips shine — including how to work with their natural drape, how to encourage graceful shapes, and how to style an arrangement that feels loose, lush, and garden-inspired. This is a perfect seasonal workshop to ease out of winter and back into color. This workshop is perfect for flower lovers eager for spring, a friend’s day out, beginner and intermediate designers, and anyone craving color and creativity after winter.
Tickets are $99 per person and include all tools and materials; a generous selection of premium spring tulips; seasonal foliage; textural accents; a vase to design in and take home; and demonstrations and guided design instruction, along with light sips, sweet treats, and good company.
