We’re heading out to Bulls Island for a 5-hour adventure with our Outdoor School educators to hike through the island to beach. Along the way, kids will learn about native and edible plants, the different habitats on the island, and look for birds, fox squirrels, deer and other wildlife! This adventure includes a boat ecotour through Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.
As with everything we do, safety is our top priority and our guides will make sure that everyone understands the guidelines for safety and behavior expectations. Your kids will arrive back at the dock windswept and smiling.
Check out all of our after-school programs and full-day camps! Kayaking, paddleboarding, crabbing, fossil hunting, camping and so much more. ALL KIDS PROGRAMS
