Carolina Clear Week at Camp Sewee

Dive into Carolina Clear Week at Camp Sewee! Experience a unique look at coastal South Carolina’s natural heritage, and the special role river systems play in this beautiful landscape. From tidal creeks and Carolina bays to estuaries and barrier islands, campers (ages 8-14) will learn and connect with these special environments through fun, hands-on activities. They’ll become Watershed Ambassadors, charged with sharing their knowledge of South Carolina’s valuable water resources—including the importance of water quality and Storm water education—and ways we can all become good stewards. Please join us on this exciting coastal exploration!
