Junior Explorers Tailgating with Turtles 2025

Loading....

Calling all Junior Explorers and families! The Kiawah Conservancy will host a summer Junior Explorers event in partnership with the Town of Kiawah Island Turtle Patrol and Kiawah Island Community Association.

During this exciting family-friendly event, you will have the opportunity to team up with a Turtle Patrol volunteer for a hands-on mock turtle nesting and hatching activity followed by a Q&A session. This experience highlights the vital role the Turtle Patrol plays in protecting loggerhead sea turtles.

Parents/guardians must stay with children throughout the event.
Must be 5 years or older to participate.

Each participant will receive a Junior Explorers backpack, an official Junior Explorers membership card, and more! Sunscreen is always recommended and don't fort forget a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated. A water station will be provided.

DATE: Thursday, July 17, 2025
TIME: 9-10 am
LOCATION: The Sandcastle (1 Shipwatch Road, Kiawah Island).
