CASTAWAYS FOR A DAY

Once we arrive at St. Phillips, we hike the inland trails through the island to the beach.

Along the way, kids will learn about native plants, the different habitats on the island, and look for birds, fox squirrels, deer and other wildlife.

Kids thrive outdoors, and the Kids St. Phillips Island Adventure gives them the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with nature. Your kids will be windswept and smiling when you pick them up at the landing.
