About Camp

Programs

Typical camp activities include swimming, field trips, sports, arts and crafts, dancing, singing, playing instruments and talent shows. A recreation specialist is on staff to plan outdoor activities. Each year Camp Good Times offers a "sensory room" equipped with a platform swing, body sox, beanbags, a bounce pillow, ball pit, tactile walking path, and other soothing items for campers to enjoy. All programs are specially designed to promote socialization and to explore interaction within the community.

Some of the field trips that a camper may participate in include movies, one of the many Charleston County Parks and Recreation water parks, Frankie's Fun Park, Patriots Point, and much more!
