Plan a College Group Outing in Charleston SC

Most college group trips in Charleston mean a night downtown or a beach day everyone has already done. This one is different. It works well as a daytime outing for sororities, fraternities, campus clubs, and student organizations, and it fits easily into a weekend trip, a semester kickoff, or an end of year outing. Since we run multiple tours at once, group size is not a problem. Whether it is 10 people or 50, we can get your whole group through in one visit.

College Group Outing Activities for Everyone

Charleston Adventure Forest has four activities your group can book, either on their own or combined into one day. Each one is run by a trained guide and works for groups of any size, from a small club outing to a full chapter. Here is what each activity includes, along with pricing.

College group ziplining at Charleston Adventure Forest

Zipline Canopy Tour

The main event for most college groups. Group ziplining through the forest is the kind of activity that gets everyone off their phones, cheering each other on line after line. Seven zip lines, three sky bridges, and a 750 foot final run through the trees.

Ages 10+, weight 70 to 250 lbs
Up to 2 hours
$98 per person
$83 per person for groups of 6 or more

Book the Zipline Canopy Tour

65-Foot Climbing Wall

The tallest climbing wall in the Lowcountry. Good for a group with mixed experience levels, since there are routes at different difficulty levels for beginners and more advanced climbers.

Ages 5+, weight 40 to 300 lbs
Up to 45 minutes
$28 per person standalone
$17 per person added to another activity

Book the Climbing Wall

Animal Encounters

A calm reset between higher energy activities. Your group gets time with alpacas, ponies, goats, pigs, sheep, and reptiles during Animal Encounters, and it usually ends up being the part of the day nobody expected to enjoy this much.

30 minutes, all ages

$28 per person standalone, $17 per person added to another activity

Book Animal Encounters

Blacksmithing at The Forge

Not the first thing most groups think of, but it has become one of the most requested add ons. Everyone in your group forges something real and takes it home, like an oyster shucker, a hook, or a decorative item.

Ages 12+, by appointment
1 to 3 hours, starting at $115 for the 2-hour class
Wear cotton clothing and closed toe shoes, with pants covering your shoes

Book a Blacksmithing Class

Build Your College Group Day

You do not have to pick just one activity. Most groups mix two or three, based on what the group actually wants to do. Add on pricing makes it easy to combine activities without paying full price twice.
