School Holiday Adventure Camps

SCHOOL HOLIDAY CAMPS

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. 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.

Camp hours are 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
