Cypress Adventures, Inc. We equip them with the foundational life skills necessary to become influential leaders, team members, and citizens at school, work, and home.

An incubator of youth leaders, Cypress Adventures develops the emotional, social and physical well-being of our youth, empowering them with the skills necessary to reach their highest potential.

It was this guy, Dan Hill of Kalmia Gardens who introduced us to Environmental Education Association of South Carolina and this woman, EV Bell and the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium that introduced us to The Watershed Game that we use in our Leadership 201 course.
We are grateful for the opportunity this week to continue expanding our network at the EEASC annual conference!

Environmental Education is one of the many tools we use to foster positive youth development.
When young people care for native plants, create wildlife habitat, grow food, and learn how natural systems work, they develop leadership, responsibility, problem-solving skills, and stewardship.
This is the kind of learning environment we envision for the future of Cypress Adventures - a place where youth and community members can connect with nature, develop practical skills, and learn by doing.

🌱We’re planting seeds for the future.

There is something about looking at your work displayed. Not in a folder on a shelf in a classroom, not balled up in the bottom of a book bag post assessment… Your work, your skill, your time, your voice:

DISPLAYED. CELEBRATED. SHARED.

That’s magic. Thats the secret sauce in confidence in the arts, and confidence in LIFE.

If you’re wondering this previous semesters student work is being displayed at Looky Loo downtown Hartsville ! We’d love for you to check it out and support program.

We asked our students:

"How would you describe our Youth Leadership Program to someone who has never heard of Cypress Adventures?"
✨ "It'll bring out a side of yourself you never knew you had. You will get to know yourself better. It's very energetic. You will challenge yourself."

We asked 25 students one simple question:
👉 "Why did you take this leadership course?"
The #1 answer?
📚 "For the grade."
That's right. More students enrolled for school credit than for any other reason.
But the rest of their answers tell a bigger story...

🌟 Looking for a leadership class
🤔 Curious about what the program was all about
🏡 Wanted to get out of the house
💚 Took it before and wanted to come back
👫 A sibling or cousin recommended it
🎉 Wanted to make new friends
👨‍👩‍👧 Parents encouraged them to join
💬 Wanted to improve social skills
🌲 Love being outdoors

Students come through our program for all kinds of reasons.
They stay because they find connection, adventure, belonging, and opportunities to grow into leaders.
What would YOUR reason have been?

These voices are strong, powerful, and deserve to be HEARD. The beautiful thing about the arts is that it helps our students develop that voice…

No matter what career, no matter what college, no matter what path they take .. finding your voice and learning how to use it…. THAT is what sets you apart.

Problem Solving
Creativity
Building Confidence

That’s the name of our games.
