Kids ages seven and up are invited to join Charleston County Parks on the beach to learn all about sharks. The program will use hands-on activities to explore how sharks live and why they’re important to the coastal ecosystem. Program participants may even go on a short walk to look for shark teeth! This program has a limited capacity and spots are available on a first come first served basis. To ensure your spot in one of the sessions, arrive early to register. Program registration is on-site and free with attendance and will take place on the Dunes House deck. The program will have sessions from 5:30 pm to 6 pm and 6:15 pm to 6:45 pm.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs and beach towels/blankets to use while at the event.
