BREVARD COUNTY, FL. – Do you have a budding naturalist at home? If so, sign them up for our Florida Youth Master Naturalist Day Camp series! Over three days we will explore unique Florida ecosystems. You can sign up for one day or all three! Each day, we will meet at a new location to explore the area while learning about the plants, wildlife, and ecosystem through hands-on activities. This day camp is for youth ages 11 – 13.

We will meet at the following locations:

Participants will be spending most of their time outdoors in the Florida sun and heat. Please make sure to bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and bug spray. Participants should wear closed-toe shoes and wear comfortable clothes that will help protect them from the sun.
