EYCC is a sleep away summer camp that is owned and operated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network (FYCCN). Our mission is to foster awareness, appreciation, and concern for Florida’s wildlife and environment through outdoor recreation and conservation education. We offer a wide variety of programs for youth who have completed 3rd - 8th grade within the current academic school year (Fall 2024 - Spring 2025)
