Summer Camp Programs

Our camp counselors participated in a training session to prepare for the weeklong summer camp programs

Our outdoor summer programs begin soon! We’re planning nature-based and water-focused environmental programs and activities for approximately 2,000 youth.

Love A Sea Turtle‘s summer camp program brought nearly 2,000 participants to River Park North – 1,681 were students!

So far, over 1,200 youth have kayaked, fished, biked on trails, and participated in water testing during our 2015 summer camp programs!

35 students have dedicated their summer to making an impact with youth, encouraging them to try new things, overcoming their fears, and learning about the environment. A big thanks to our summer camp counselors!

Love A Sea Turtle’s Student Advisory Board participated in conservation and student leadership development projects in the Keys. With support from the Williams Family Foundation and Knopf Family Foundation, students were SCUBA certified, participated in conservation workshop sessions, toured a coral nursery, planted coral, participated in fish identification surveys, donated items and toured The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, Florida, and became better stewards of the ocean.

Our weeklong camp traces the path of fresh water to the coast. Campers learn to snorkel and experience breathing underwater through a regulator.

Our summer camp programs have already served over 800 youth! We’re excited to see the campers each morning!
