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.

SEE ALL PROGRAMS

“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.”

Coastal Expeditions is the trusted local outfitter for US Fish & Wildlife Service, SC State Parks, REI Adventures, Backroads International, Linblad Expeditions, Clemson University Camps and other groups. Over the last 30 years, we’ve worked hard to create a well-developed education program of camps, after school programs and field trips that connects students with the outdoors in meaningful ways.

Throughout the year, Coastal Expeditions guides participate in continuing education and safety certifications like CPR, First Aid, Lifeguard training, ACA kayak training and other programs to ensure that our field trips are safely run. Safety is our biggest focus and all campers wear PFD’s when on the dock, swimming, or paddling.
