LOWCOUNTRY JR. NATURALISTS
Overview
After School Program
Daniel Island
Ages 9-12
This 9-week program teaches kids everything they need to know to be skilled outdoor explorers in the Lowcountry! This program will introduce a variety of outdoor education and survival skills that will come in handy as they grow older and explore natural areas in the Lowcountry on their own.
Why We Love It
We see these kids as the next generation of conservationists, biologists and all around nature lovers. It’s our hope that Jr. Naturalists stay in touch and apply to be jr. counselors or future kayak guides at Coastal Expeditions!

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.
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.
