Geer Patrick (5th degree black belt) heads an amazing…read moreteam of black belt instructors in teaching kids (and adults) about themselves and about life in the form of karate lessons. She is a wonderful example of someone who practices what they preach and does it at a high-level. Geer has legendary patience with the kids and respects where they are in their development and the pace at which they learn. She is masterful in knowing what the students needs are and in knowing the right time to push them or lead them gently to breakthroughs in their practice. Fun and games are part of every practice. Areas of emphasis include: self-discipline, body control, respect, best effort, sportsmanship and responsibility. My kids have been practicing at Low Country Karate for almost 3 years and I'm amazed at how much that program has enhanced their development. Mrs. April (mgr) is on top of things, very helpful and is always willing to assist. Special parties and fun nights are also offered. My highest recommendation!

Also, the beach traffic was strong on this particular Saturday. However, the charm remains and still has the amazing beach views and the wonderful smells that reminds me of my childhood.

Her mom couldn't ride down the small slide with her, which ok, not fully horrible but disappointing. We waiting 2 hours for a tube for the lazy river, never once got one. People hogged the tubes and floated for long period of time. The entrance fee 15.99 per adult is definitely not worth it. I would say maybe 10 tops.

It's not often I see teens/young adults with the work ethic I witnessed from not only them, but everyone I encountered who works there.
