It’s ‘fall break’ in Greenville, SC, and we know just what you can do to have fun! Several organizations in the Upstate offer camps, events, farm festivals, and drop-in childcare during these student breaks- all the things Greenville parents need for these days the kids are off from school.
The 2025 Greenville County School calendar does not have an official Fall Break listed for 2025. However, there is a Teacher Professional Development Day Monday, October 13th, 2025 when Greenville County School District students will have off from school. You can find more information on the 2025/2026 GCS Student Calendar.
Working parents need somewhere safe and fun for their kids to go over the fall break school holiday, whether it’s a special camp or just a few hours at a childcare center. And other times, parents want to take the opportunity to enjoy the time off with their kids and do things outside of the home. We can help with any of those scenarios.
To get you started, here are our Things to Do in October list. It’s full of fun, family things to do throughout the month of October.
