HUNTING ISLAND NATURE CAMP
Overview
Ages 5-11
Day Camp at Hunting Island State Park
Don’t miss out on this new day camp at Hunting Island State Park!
Departing from the Nature Center, we’ll take a nature walk through the maritime forest to the beach, identifying native plants and animals along the way. Then we’ll board a Coastal Expeditions boat for a cruise through the salt marsh estuary, looking for dolphins and other wildlife. Kids return wind-swept and energized from this fun Lowcountry outing.
Sign ups are by the day.

Hunting Island State Park is one of South Carolina’s best parks, offering kids the chance to get out in nature, exploring by land and sea.

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, 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 and any time they are near water.
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
This camp has a 7-day cancellation policy.
This is a rain-or-shine program, but certain weather conditions (i.e. hurricanes or tropical storms) may cause us to cancel.
