ABOUT OUR KIDS PROGRAMS
Our education team at Coastal Expeditions offers camps, day trips and school field trips from our St. Phillips Island and Downtown Beaufort locations.
“Kids thrive outdoors. We don’t need research to tell us that spending time outdoors is good for us. However, we love that research now supports what we’ve known for a long time. There is growing evidence that spending time in natural environments positively affects children. When children spend time in nature, they are happier, calmer, and more focused.”
