River Island Adventures offers field trips that get students outside to provide important physical, social and health benefits. Students will learn outdoor skills while building teamwork and confidence. Groups rotate through optional activities like nature skills, team-building activities, kayaking, and our popular SURVIVOR games. The Outpost provides amenities including restrooms, showers, picnic areas and games, and staff can customize an itinerary to match group size and ages. We’ve had students from schools all across Horry County and beyond as well as home school groups come spend the day with us.
