Living In Charleston

The Charleston County Parks have so many activities besides water parks it will wear you out just thinking about it. There are magic shows, shagging on the pier on the 11th, climbing classes, family canoeing and kayaking classes and trips, and also whitewater and sea kayaking classes. Explore the sky with the portable digital planetarium or take a sunset/moonlight canoe trip at Caw Caw. Learn surf seining at the Folly Beach County Park or stroll the beach on Isle of Palms with a naturalist. There’s plenty to see at the Birds of Prey show at James Island or Wannamaker Park. Regular early morning bird walks are held at Caw Caw. Feel like fishing? The monthly fishing tournament on the pier at Folly will be on the 26th or you can learn to make Long Leaf Pine needle baskets at Caw Caw if fishing isn’t for you. Or you could just relax with a good book in the library’s summer reading contest. We’re seeing more and more folks cycling these days. Bike on over to Marion Square on the 6th for the Community Bike Workshop to share knowledge, tools and bike parts. Bring a project!
