Each camp has two age groups (7-10 and 11-14, witht the exception of Field Experiences, which is exclusively for 15-17 yr olds) Turtle Adventures: Does your child have a passion for sea turtles? Then this is the camp for them! In five days, campers will learn about the different species of sea turtles that call Florida their home. They will be educated on turtle nesting, habitats, ecology, conservation, rehab and what they can do on a day-to-day basis to help protect sea turtles. Campers will participate in indoor as well as outdoor activities including, but not limited to: scavenger hunts, educational games, crafts, nature walks, specialist presentations and demonstrations. Explore Florida: Got a junior naturalist in your house? This program will encompass a variety of Florida’s wonders. Campers will take nature hikes, learning about native flora and fauna.

Campers will visit several different ecosystems and learn not only who inhabits them but how they fit into the bigger picture.

If your child loves to be outdoors and learn about nature, this is the camp for them! Field Experience - 15-17 years: This is not your traditional camp experience!
