About
Join us for one day or the whole weekend! October’s theme is “Marsh” and all of our education programs will revolve around marsh ecology, environmental issues impacting the coast, and more! Children of all ages are welcome to join us, however younger students may need assistance with a few activities from parents/guardians. Price is per child and parents are not expected to purchase a ticket for themselves (unless they are kayaking), however it is expected that primarily the children are the ones participating in events.
Classes this month are
- Day 1: Marsh Walk, Marsh Kayaking, Dock Discovery, Night Walk
9am check in, we will break for a two hour lunch, and we will wrap at 4:45 for dinner. We will meet back up at 8:30pm for those wanting to stay for Night Walk - Day 2: Nature cruise, Shark Dissection, Movie Night & Smore’s
8:45am check in we will break for a two hour lunch, and we will wrap at 3:45 for dinner. Movie Night will begin at 8pm.
Lunch is available through our Marina Deli for pre-order when you complete your booking for $13/meal.
Island restaurants, pools, etc. will not be available to homeschool participants unless they are a Fripp Island Beach and Golf Resort member. For dinner there are many delicious restaurants open along Sea-Island Parkway.
Kayaking is limited to students 16+ to be in their own kayak, or 8+ with an adult. Due to limited space if your child is too young and needs to ride in a tandem with an adult, you must purchase a ticket for the adult.
Shark Dissection is recommended for 8+ and students will be sharing specimens with up to 3 others.
There is limited seating on our Fripper II boat for the Nature Cruise and in the unlikely event we have too many adults we may request a few to stay behind to enjoy a childfree 3 hours.
Schedules and group assignments will be sent out the Monday before the event.
