Summer Camp
Are you ready for an amazing summer at SYCC?
We can’t wait for summertime! The Suncoast Youth Conservation Center offers summer camp programming to get youth outdoors and engaged with nature. Our week-long day camps serve campers in elementary school through high school. Each week focuses on a specific age range and theme (see below for details). All camps include activities related to FYCCN ‘s 4 pillars: paddle sports, shooting sports (archery), fishing, and wildlife discovery.
SYCC is accredited through the American Camp Association, a national organization which conducts regular audits of certified camps to ensure best practices in safety, staff training, and facility maintenance. For more information on our camp, policies, etc. please review the SYCC Camp Policies and FAQ documents below.
