Activities

We've saved the afternoon of Tuesday, May 1 for the networking activity of your choice. Please indicate your activity preference when you register.

Kayaking

Paddle the winding saltwater creeks and uninhabited marsh islands of Coastal South Carolina. A safe, comfortable sea kayak provides you with a tranquil view of pelicans, egrets and dolphins, as well as a variety of plants and wildlife.

You can enjoy gliding effortlessly through backwater creeks or bays, or experience a challenging harbor crossing. Your locally trained guide is an expert paddler with a vast knowledge of the environment and the historical heritage of the barrier islands.

Bring a camera, sunscreen, and sunglasses. You'll receive a drawstring bag to keep your items dry.

What to wear: Shoes that can get wet. Head cover. A dry pair of shorts for the ride back to the hotel.

Chase of Charleston

This on-foot two-hour hunt through Charleston's historic district is one of the most delightful ways to learn Charleston. Experience this magnificent city while discovering why it is often called "America's Best-Kept Secret."

You'll compete in teams to collect items, complete tasks, and answer historical questions. Your team supplies include a Polaroid camera, a list of historical locations with questions and tasks, a map, Band-Aids in case of a blisters, a quarter to call the "scavenger hunt hotline" (in case your cell phone battery fails), and other necessary items.

Golf

RiverTowne Country Club is Charleston's First Arnold Palmer Signature Course. It is just a 25-minute drive from the hotel. Situated among scenic marshlands and majestic live oaks with 13 holes along the Wando River and Horlbeck Creek, this 18-hole championship course features exceptional year-round playing conditions with five sets of tees from 5300 yards to over 7200 yards.

Isle of Palms

If sunning on the sand is more your style, we'll provide a shuttle to bring you to the Isle of Palms. Located about 15 minutes from Charleston Place, the Isle of Palms is six miles of white, sandy beach. It is as much a place of beauty and serenity today as it was hundreds of years ago for the area's original inhabitants, the Seewee Indians. The Seewee Indians were said to have greeted the first English settlers to the area by swimming to the ships and carrying travelers to shore.

There are a number of shops and restaurants near the beach when you're ready to take a break from the sun.

Free Afternoon

Charleston is known for its history, and we welcome you to explore it on your own. Charleston Place is located in the heart of the city, so you can walk out the front door and find boutiques, antiques shops, art galleries, restaurants, and historic homes. There is also a famous open air market just steps away from the hotel.

The concierge will be happy to recommend a walking route that satisfies your particular interests.
