Mayor Alan Perry will join The Outside Foundation and local students for a morning of Kids in Kayaks, a hands-on environmental education program that takes learning out of the classroom and onto the waters of the Lowcountry.

Through kayaking and exploration of our salt marsh ecosystem, local middle school students get an up-close look at the waterways, wildlife and natural resources that make Hilton Head Island home, while learning why protecting them matters.

What began with approximately 400 students from three schools has grown to reach more than 1,100 students from 14 Beaufort County middle schools, an investment in environmental education and the next generation of Lowcountry stewards.

Mayor Perry is proud to spend the morning with students, educators and volunteers who are helping ensure that caring for our Island is something the next generation learns by experiencing it firsthand.

Please note: Kids in Kayaks is a school-based educational program and is not open to the general public.
