SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS: BEAUFORT AREA

Leave the classroom behind—this is learning in the wild.
Our field trips get kids outside and into the action, where they can paddle through salt marshes, spot wildlife, and discover how nature works (and why it matters). Science comes alive when your “lab” is a barrier island or a boat ride through the estuary.
