Several pirates will pitch their tents in front of Kitty Hawk Kites, offering a full day of pirate life. Tales and stories will circulate throughout the day as each pirate tries to tell his/her best tale of the sea. Some pirates will conduct the "Scalliwag School for Aspiring Pirates" while others help with the Treasure Hunt!

Blackbeard's first mate will be in search of new recruitments. Children of all ages will be able to train with the pirates, learning how to sword fight and become a real pirate. In addition, live cannon fire will be shot throughout the day.
