School Holiday Adventure Camps
SCHOOL HOLIDAY CAMPS
Fill your school breaks with hands-on, feet-wet learning in the Indian River Lagoon!
Whether we are kayaking, boating, or exploring our restored salt marsh, discovery awaits at every turn.
These camps are for ages 5-12 and occur during Volusia County school holidays.
Holiday break spent exploring and engaging with the Indian River Lagoon is one that is not easy to forget! There is no better way to break up the school year than taking our learning outside and having hands-on, feet-wet experiences along with knowledgeable instructors and other enthusiastic campers.
Camp hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day.
Payment is required at the time of the reservation. Cancellations must be made two weeks in advance to receive a refund. For single day holiday camps, a minimum of 8 campers booked is necessary for the boat to be utilized during camp.
