Teachers of the Wild
A Field Trip Just for Teachers.
Get Schooled by Nature
Leave the classroom behind and join fellow educators for a hands-on field trip—no permission slips required. Cruise through the Charleston Harbor estuary with our naturalists, spot dolphins and shorebirds, and explore Morris Island’s wild shoreline. See how we connect students to nature—by experiencing it yourself.
