School Field Trip Planning in South Carolina
We plan customized school field trips and group travel for South Carolina schools, churches, and organizations — whether the trip stays close to home or heads across the East Coast. From a single day trip to a week-long tour, we handle the transportation, lodging, and scheduling so you can focus on your group.
Planning a Field Trip or Group Tour in South Carolina?
Academic Field Trips And Tours is a group travel planning company based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that plans school field trips and group trips for schools, churches, and community organizations located in South Carolina — whether the destination is in-state or somewhere else on the East Coast.
Group trip planning looks different depending on who's doing it. A youth pastor coordinating a Myrtle Beach retreat has different problems than a 5th grade teacher planning a Charleston history trip — but both come down to the same thing: transportation, lodging, meals, and a schedule that actually works for the group you have.
That's what we handle. Whether it's a community group heading to the coast or a school group exploring Charleston's historic district, we build the itinerary around your group — your dates, your budget, your group.
Field Trips and Group Travel for Every Kind of South Carolina Group
We plan trips for school groups, churches, senior groups, and community organizations located in South Carolina.
School & Student Groups
Field trips, history tours, band and choir competitions, and other student travel, built around your school's calendar and budget
Churches & Faith Groups
Retreats, fellowship trips, and multi-day getaways planned around your congregation's schedule.

South Carolina groups build all kinds of trips with us — a Charleston history trip for a school group, a Myrtle Beach retreat for a church, or a Columbia day trip for a community organization — each one planned from scratch around that specific group.
Here are two examples of the kinds of trips we can build in South Carolina — full itineraries can be built around either concept, or something entirely different.

• What's Actually Included in Planning Your Trip •
Planning a South Carolina group trip with us can include transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, attraction tickets, and full day-by-day scheduling.
Whether your group is exploring Charleston's historic district or settling in for a week at Myrtle Beach, transportation is just the start.

Depending on your trip, that can include:
Motor coach or minibus transportation
Hotel and group lodging
Meals and dining reservations
Attraction tickets and admissions
Day-by-day itinerary and scheduling
On-trip logistics support
