Just For Families

It's no secret that Kiawah is a favorite destination for families. Besides the island's natural beauty and the unparalleled opportunity for casual relaxation and unstructured fun, there are also programs specifically designed to help guests and their children maximize their vacation experience.

Kamp Kiawah

Half-day (4 hours) and full-day (8 hours) sessions are available. Lunch is included with a full day of Kamp. You must register in advance by calling our Concierge since space is limited.

Kiawah Island Natural Habitat Conservancy
23 Beachwalker Drive Kiawah Island, SC 29455 (843) 768-2029
ReqortQuest on Kiawah Island actively supports Kiawah's Natural Habitat Conservancy. Our guests can participate in nature workshops and are encouraged to contribute to the Conservancy's success. Be sure to view the Conservancy's nature video. The video is in all accommodations and is also available to purchase.

Family Biking Adventure

Biking is the best way to get around the island while enjoying the experience of vacationing on a semi-tropical island. With an extensive network of bike trails, biking on Kiawah is a safe and fun activity for guests of all ages. Consider renting bikes for your stay to prevent corrosion (due to the salt and sand) of your own bikes. You get a detailed bike map at check-in so you can travel the island and set off on daily self-guided adventures. We also have nature books available for purchase so you can quickly find information about any of the animals and plants on the island. Contact our Concierge to make arrangements at least 2 weeks in advance of your trip.
