FKCC’s ECO Adventures Camp is a one-week experience based at its main campus in Key West, Florida. Lead by college professors and research professionals, campers will learn the importance of environmental conservation, sustainability, and restoration through hands-on interactions with the fascinating marine ecosystems in the Florida Keys.
The adventures consist of field trips to the Dolphin Research Center, Turtle Hospital, Dry Tortugas National Park, and MOTE Marine Lab. Campers will also regularly enjoy swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing in the Keys’ calm blue waters. They may even choose to become a certified SCUBA diver through the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI). Rounding out the schedule will be summer camp traditions such as arts and crafts, games, movie night, and stories around the campfire.
Eco Adventurers will stay in the College’s safe and secure waterfront residence hall, Lagoon Landing, and will be supervised by a trained team of caring and energetic camp counselors—one for every 3 campers. The week-long camps run each Sunday to Sunday in July 2015.
FKCC’s Eco Adventures Camp is a collaboration with the Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network and The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. For more information, email ECOadventurescamp@fkcc.edu.
