About
Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network Summer Camps offer chances for campers to kayak, hunt, fish, and explore. FYCCN and its partners teach kids to Kayak Confidently, Hunt Responsibly, Fish Ethically, and Explore Curiously during these conservation summer camps.
• Ages: 8–17 years old
In 2010 the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission introduced the Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network (FYCCN) as a public-private partnership initiative. The mission of FYCCN is to inspire a lifelong delight for the outdoors and a passion for conserving Florida’s natural resources. FYCCN has supported more than 2,000,000 transformative nature experiences and has hundreds of partnerships with parks, community centers, camps, clubs, museums, zoos, and aquariums.
Campers may be registered at multiple locations, but may be limited in 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. Campers attending Everglades Youth Conservation Center may attend for up to two weeks, but not consecutively. Leadership campers are only allowed to attend one week of camp total. If a camper is attending two consecutive weeks at Ocala Conservation Center, the 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, while campers ages 14–17 may attend a maximum of two weeks of camp at the Suncoast Youth Conservation Center. Tenoroc Youth Conservation Center does not have a limit to the number of weeks a camper may attend.
FYCCN updated its program eligibility policy to be based on age rather than grade level for Summer Camp 2026. Exceptions to age eligibility may be considered on a case-by-case basis if the camper’s birthday falls within 30 days of the chosen camp week, and this applies only for campers aging up, not aging down. No exceptions are granted beyond the 30-day time period.
Checks, credit, and debit cards for Discover, Mastercard, and Visa are accepted for payment, while American Express and Flex Cards are not accepted. Checks must be made payable to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the memo line must include the camper name, camp location, and camp week.
