 LifeTides offers many adventure learning opportunities, and a continuing education environment for youth, seniors, retirees and multi-generational offerings. We are big advocates of learning through experience.   Participants from around the United States and abroad visit the Lowcountry for educational opportunities not found anywhere else.  LifeTides Institute serves as the host for the Road Scholar Program (see below); it provides outstanding, yet affordable accommodations, including pre- and post-course stays in a beautiful coastal marsh setting.

Continuing Education through the Road Scholar program

LifeTides Institute offers the following Road Scholar Programs with an array of adventure learning opportunities, especially a continuing education platform for seniors, retirees and multi-generational programs.  For LifeTides, this has included kayaking in the Lowcountry,  birding and introduction to BBQ of the Lowcountry Region.

Kids in the Lowcountry region learn to make connections using nature as a teacher, and learn to be better stewards and future leaders of their own backyards.

Many of the youth of this region are increasingly disconnected from their own backyards - sequestered in schools that can feel restraining.   LifeTides strives to get many of these children outdoors and in their own natural surroundings so that they can come to really know a place.  And once they truly know about these currently unspoiled areas— and their own personal relationship to them- then this provides the foundation for stronger caring and stewardship for this region’s future. Recent research shows that learning outdoors improves cognitive skills and brain development, especially among younger children.
