About Everglades Youth Conservation Center

The Everglades Youth Conservation Center (EYCC) is located on the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area in western Palm Beach County. This center was created by individuals who care deeply about conservation, protecting wilderness areas, wildlife in natural habitats and preserving a way of life. The facility is managed by the Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

In typical years, from June to August EYCC offers residential summer camp programs for children completing 3rd-8th grade as well as a Leadership Camp for youth completing grades 9th-12th grade. Summer camp activities challenge camper’s physical, mental and social growth. Group leaders and instructors serve as guides through camp life and activities, mentors and role models. EYCC’s summer programs feature a unique conservation education theme with outdoor adventure activities in the Florida Everglades, as well as time to relax, have fun and make new friends. Please see our summer camp section for more details about the camp programs, dates, registration information, and open houses. From September through April the camp hosts children and family programs and school programs as well as becoming a rental use facility.
