Fishing is always at the heart of what we do, but our mission runs deeper. Our goal is to help foster a sense of curiosity among budding scientists, deepen the connection to nature among young outdoor enthusiasts, and guide the next generation of environmental stewards, one cast a a time.

In addition to our fishing programs and camps, we offer science-forward workshops that dive deeper into topics like marine biology, coastal ecology, marsh dynamics, and animal behavior.

We turn the coastline into an immersive, fun, and engaging classroom for all ages.

We offer year-round, bite-sized, 90-minute science sessions | $40 per session | Topics and locations vary across Charleston parks, piers, and docks.

• Are science sessions held indoors or outdoors? They are conducted outdoors, adjacent to the salt marsh.

• Are live animals harmed during these sessions? Never! All organisms (such as mud minnows, fiddler crabs, and shrimp) are ethically collected, temporarily observed, and safely released back into their habitat.

• Can these sessions be booked for private groups? Yes, our Science Sessions are fully customizable for private group gatherings like homeschool co-ops, field trips, or any group of friends looking to learn more about the Lowcountry (but who may not be as into fishing).

• What topics are covered in the sessions? Topics rotate monthly, covering anything from oyster reef filtration, bird adaptations, estuarine food webs, and marine pollution.

• Do parents need to stay for the session? Most sessions are designed for kids to be dropped-off, but parents are always welcome to attend and observe at a distance.

• How large are the science session groups? Groups are kept intimate (capped at 12 participants) to ensure every child gets hands-on access to any materials or gear.

• How do we sign up? Check out our upcoming events on our seasonal calendar to directly reserve spots for upcoming weekend or weekday workshops.
