Come out with Coastal Expeditions for a week of outdoor adventure! On this trip you can expect to learn backcountry skills, build a community, and have fun in wild spaces! 

This week-long outdoor skills course revolves around the theme of environmental knowledge, introducing participants to multiple ecosystems and environments that make up the Lowcountry.

Throughout the week, campers will develop outdoor skills during their explorations of places like Shem Creek, Bulls Island & Francis Marion National Forest.

The week will conclude with a multi-day kayaking and  primitive camping trip in the Frances Marion Forest where we will put our outdoor skills to the test.
