Frequently Asked Questions

We have recently updated our summer camp registration system. If you have registered for an FYCCN camp previously, you will need to reset your password. Please select  Forgot your password?  on the login page of the parent portal to proceed. 

Select the option for Forgot your username?  or Forgot your password? on the login page of the parent portal to proceed.

Select the option for Not a member? on the login page of the parent portal to proceed. 

Please wait 15 minutes and try again with the correct login information.

When you have submitted your registration, please select the tab titled ‘My Registrations’ at the top right of the page.  Scroll down to your list and find the registration for which you want to upload a document. On the right side of your screen, you will see a button titled ‘Upload Files’, please select that and follow the instructions.

This error could happen for a few different reasons. If your camper has been registered under a different parent account in years prior, you will need to log back into that account. If that is not an option, please email MSDfyccn@MyFWC.com. If your camper has not attended a camp before, they may still be in our system as a volunteer or from attending a different program. Please email MSDfyccn@MyFWC.com for assistance. 

Please email MSDfyccn@MyFWC.com to have your existing account email address updated. 

  

For technical issues with the registration system, please email MSDfyccn@MyFWC.com.

Please contact the appropriate camp using the email address listed below.

Campers may be registered at multiple locations, but may be limited as to how many weeks they can attend at any one location.

Campers attending the Joe Budd Conservation Center may register for up to two weeks of camp. 

If your camper is attending at Everglades Youth Conservation Center, they may attend for up to two weeks, but not consecutively. Leadership campers are only allowed to attend one week of camp total.  

If your camper is attending two consecutive weeks at Ocala Conservation Center, your child must be picked up on Friday and brought back on Sunday.  

Campers ages 8 - 13 may attend a maximum of one week of camp at the Suncoast Youth Conservation Center due to demand, with campers ages 14 - 17 attending a maximum of two weeks of camp.

Tenoroc Youth Conservation Center does not have a limit to the number of weeks a camper may attend. 

On the ‘My Registration’ page, you can verify if your application has been submitted or is still in draft form by viewing the column titled ‘Form Status’. In the column titled ‘Payment’ you can verify if your payment is due, paid, or if your registration has been cancelled. All other status changes (Approved, Waitlisted, Pending) will be updated by email notifications. 

While staff work through registrations as quickly as possible, due to the volume of registrations, notifications may be delayed by up to 2 weeks.

Please contact the appropriate camp using the email address listed below.

Your camper will be waitlisted upon registration if the chosen week of camp is full. You may choose to wait to hear of an opening, in which case, camp staff will reach out immediately. You may also choose a different week of camp for your camper. 

 

The registration system will calculate your camper’s age and will allow you to register if the camper will be the correct age at the time their week of camp starts.

FYCCN updated our program eligibility policy to be based on age rather than grade level for Summer Camp 2026. We recognize that this change may have unexpectedly impacted your child’s program options for Summer Camp 2026. The system will calculate your camper’s age and allow you to register if the camper will be the correct age at the start of their week of camp. Exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis if the camper’s birthday falls within 30 days of the chosen camp week (this is only considered for campers aging up, not aging down). Contact the camp of interest using the contact information below to discuss eligibility. Respectfully, no exceptions will be granted beyond the 30 day time period. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we implement this change to ensure consistency in registration across all of our Youth Conservation Centers.

  • Summer Camp payments are due 14 days after the registration is noted as ‘Approved’ in the online registration system. Each camp registration will include a non-refundable $25 deposit. 
  • Cancellations made on or before May 15th = 100% refund (excluding the $25 deposit). 
  • Cancellations made after May 15th and between 15 and 30 calendar days before the start of that camper’s week of camp = 50% refund (excluding the $25 deposit). 
  • Cancellations made after May 15th and 14 calendar days or less before the start of that camper’s week of camp = no refund. 
  • Refund requests will be declined if the camper was sent home for disciplinary reasons or due to homesickness. Please consult camp administration for their refund policies in cases where a child is sent home due to illness during camp
  • Extenuating circumstances at the Director’s discretion will allow for full refunds outside the noted windows, with their supervisor’s approval. 
  • Approved refunds will be issued via check and cannot be refunded to a credit card. Refunds may take up to one month to be processed.  

To request a refund, you must first cancel your camper’s registration (see above). A written notice must be sent to the camp. Please email your request to the camp your child will be attending. Once your request has been submitted, camp staff will contact you with a refund form to fill out and sign. This form will require you to submit your Social Security Number. This is needed because the FWC is a State Agency and all refunds must be processed through the Florida Treasury. This is how the department assigns you as a customer. Refunds cannot be initiated without your Social Security Number. Email contacts for each camp are listed below.
