Kids Camps 
Adults can have some time alone while the children enjoy supervised
activities, or in some cases the adults can participate, for example on the
Bubble Gum Cruise on Fridays.
We have made every effort to be accurate, but you should always confirm with the
sponsor.
We apologize updates occur so late - many of these providers do not announce until late in the season. We continuously update as information trickles in.
Blue have been announced for 2009
Red were for 2008, and might repeat
with altered dates in 2008 (try calling).

Note ¹: The Bubblegum cruise is also available Thursdays at 9:30 AM through the Fun for Kids program.
Note ²: The Island Recreation Center offers many very reasonably priced programs - those listed here are the programs of most interest to visitors, and a complete on-line catalogue is available here.
Week of Champions is a non-profit Christian Youth Ministry program and offers numerous sports clinics. Only a few are mentioned here. Call 843-757-2150 for complete information. Most of the clinics are free.
The Coastal Discovery Museum offers many different programs for children (and adults) of all ages. Emphasis is on ecology and culture. Their activities are too numerous to mention here, but call them at 843-689-6767, pick up a calendar at most rental agencies and hotels or check their web site by clicking here. All their programs require advance reservations - call 689-6767.
We get some inquiries about horseback riding camps. Star Ridge Stables in Bluffton offers these (843-784-7845). It might do to check all the stables for programs. Click here for stables.
Please call for more information and reservations before getting the kids all excited about these activities. They might fill up or get cancelled for lack of interest or bad weather.
