Ready for a day of zip lining, rockwall climbing, and high-flying fun? Join us for an epic adventure at Charleston Adventure Forest!

We will soar through the trees on a high-flying zipline canopy course, offering breathtaking views of the forest as you zip from platform to platform.
Test your strength and courage at the rock climbing wall. Whether you're a seasoned climber or a first-timer, you'll find a challenge that's perfect for you. Conquer the heights, push your limits, and celebrate your success with your fellow Girl Scouts!
Throughout the day, you'll also get to interact with a variety of animals in a unique Animal Encounter. Learn about local wildlife, their habitats, and the importance of conservation while getting up close and personal with some amazing creatures.
This is an outdoor adventure in a stunning natural setting perfect for Girl Scouts who love outdoor exploration, team-building, and seeking new challenges. It's the perfect mix of outdoor fun, adventure, and personal growth, all while making lasting memories with your Girl Scout friends.
