General Information
FWC employees at the Everglades Youth Conservation Center are closely monitoring the status of COVID-19 in Florida including guidelines issued by the CDC and the Florida Department of Health. As our top priority is the health and safety of visitors and staff, EYCC has established protocols for parents and campers as well as our facility protocols to minimize the exposure risks.
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. For information about renting the facility for your weekend programs, please click on the Rental Use Facility page. Please visit the School Programs page to learn more about the day and residential programs we offer.
The Everglades Youth Conservation Camp is an American Camp Association (ACA) accredited facility, meeting all ACA health, safety, and program quality standards.
