If you're considering coming to Charleston for an overnight stay with your students, why not stay in the most historic, fun, and affordable "hotel" on the water...
the USS Yorktown!
School groups from around the country spend the night at Patriots Point while visiting Charleston. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity for you and your
students. The climate controlled berthing areas are equipped with modern facilities and give the students a realistic (yet comfortable!) feeling of life aboard
an aircraft carrier. Meals are also provided aboard the ship in an authentic ships galley.
