– Fossil/shark tooth hunting & identification
– Morris Island boat ride and island hike
– Crabbing & Touch Tank
– Boat ride to see baby birds on Crab Bank
– Team building games!
– Owl pellet dissection
– Learning about indigenous reptiles
Why We Love It
This camp gives younger kids a chance to play and explore, learning about the salt marsh estuary and all of its wonders. It’s a great baseline for a lifetime of outdoor exploration.

What To Pack & Wear
Kids should be dressed for the weather, including a hat to protect from the sun. Even if it is warm, a windbreaker is recommended for the boat ride. Wear shoes that can get wet and will stay on their feet (Tevas/Chacos/sneakers).
Bring water, snack, lunch, towel and sunscreen in a small bag or backpack.
Guide Safety & Training
All Coastal Expeditions guides hold certifications in first aid, CPR and lifeguarding. As year-round leaders of day camps and school field trips, our staff is well-trained to keep safety at the forefront. Children wear PFDs while they are on each daily expedition.
Our captains hold 100-ton master captain licenses from the USCG. Coastal Expeditions boats are custom-built vessels that receive yearly inspections from the U.S. Coast Guard.
Cancellation & Weather Policy
There is a 30-day cancellation policy for summer camps at Coastal Expeditions.
This is a rain-or-shine program, but certain weather conditions (i.e. hurricanes or tropical storms) may cause us to cancel.
