Charleston's Happy Trails

Charleston's Happy Trails is a Summer Camp in Johns Island, SC, located at 3281 Partnership Lane. The camp serves children from the tri-county area on several acres of natural landscape, offering an outdoor environment where youth can experience fun-filled summers and rediscover the spirit of childhood away from technology.

Founded by Alexis and Jaime, who have shared a friendship spanning 25 years, the camp is built on a philosophy that each child has a unique gift. Jaime Carr brings experience as a Montessori teacher, while Alexis has worked in local schools and currently homeschools her four children. Together, they aim to create a nurturing, safe environment surrounded by God’s creation where faith, hope, and love are central. The directors describe themselves as counselors who balance cleanliness with a willingness to get dirty, encouraging children to find joy in simple things like dirt, water, sticks, and trees.

The camp offers day camps running Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Activities include nature walks, swimming, canoeing, games, and arts and crafts. The program is designed to build self-esteem, promote teamwork, nurture a passion for the outdoors, and foster individual creativity. In 2017, the camp launched Happy Nights, an evening adventure program that allows children to explore Johns Island and the camp grounds on a new level, including visits to local beaches.

Charleston's Happy Trails has been operating for over 20 years, establishing itself as a long-standing option for outdoor summer activities in the region. The camp’s emphasis on preserving the spirit of childhood and providing a safe, faith-based environment for growth reflects its dedication to the local youth community.

By combining decades of experience with a commitment to outdoor exploration and personal growth, Charleston's Happy Trails continues to provide a distinctive summer experience for children in Johns Island.

Located on Partnership Lane in Johns Island, the camp is situated about 1.4 miles from Hondarosa Airport and 1.6 miles from Abbapoola Creek.
