Everglades Youth Conservation Camp
The Everglades Youth Conservation Camp (EYCC) is located on the J.W. Corbett
Wildlife Management Area in western Palm Beach County. The Youth Camp was
created by individuals who cared deeply about conservation, protecting
wilderness areas and the animals in natural habitats, and preserving a way of
life. The camp facility is managed by the Pine Jog Environmental Education
Center of the College of Education, Florida Atlantic University.
The residential summer camp program is for campers 8 to 14 years old. The
EYCC also offers a Junior Counselor program for campers 15-17 years old.
Summer camp activities
challenge camper’s physical, mental and social growth. Cabin counselors
serve as guides through camp life and instructors are mentors and role
models. EYCC’s summer programs feature a unique environmental education
theme with outdoor adventure activities in the Florida Everglades,
recreational opportunities and time to relax, have fun and make new friends.
The Everglades Youth Conservation Camp is an American Camp Association (ACA)
accredited facility, meeting all ACA health, safety, and program quality
standards.
