Looking for something for your child to do after school? Look no more! We are pleased to provide a unique 8 week long after school program for children in the Charleston area.
Ages 7-12
**If you have an older child who would be interested please send us an email. We are happy to put together a program if there is enough interest. For younger children please check out our Parent and Me programs here.**
We love creating custom excursions. Ask us about creating a program for your group! We regularly have events with older/younger children and would be happy to add another program to better meet your needs. Please note that we have a minimum of 5 children in order to start a new session.
What will we do?
Each week will have a different activity and topic. Some weeks are pure fun, like sand castle competitions and crabbing, some are more nature based and provide a hands on learning experience. Whatever the topic, we like to have a good mix of learning while we play!
