About this Event

The Florida Youth Naturalist Program (FYNP) is a new program for young nature enthusiasts interested in learning more about Florida’s environment. Inspired by the Florida Master Naturalist program, this youth program takes kids aged 10 to 13 on a journey through Florida’s ecosystems, from the uplands, through freshwater, and to the coast.


We will be exploring Florida's wide variety of ecosystems through hands-on activities and field surveys. This camp is perfect for kids who enjoy being outdoors and are interested in learning about our local ecosystems.


If you are 10-13 years old and are located in North or Central Brevard, join us for a two and a half day adventure with hands-on activities to learn about three of Florida's unique ecosystems.


Camp will run at these times and will be located as follows:

03/23/2026 (Monday): 9AM-4PM, at Enchanted Forest Sanctuary

03/24/2026 (Tuesday): 9AM-4PM, at FDEP Titusville Office

03/25/2026 (Wednesday): 9AM-12PM, UF/IFAS Brevard County Extension Offices

Drop-off and pick-up will be at the listed times and locations. Please note Wednesday (03/26) will be a half day and pick-up time will be at 12pm this date ONLY.


After registering, a follow up email will be sent closer to the event dates with further information regarding meeting locations, dress code, etc.



Youth must be ages 10-13 to participate.

Space is limited to 20 youth. A waitlist will be available.

No refunds will be issued 7 days prior to the class.



NOTE: Classes and events may be canceled at any time due to low registration or other circumstances, with full refunds issued for paid events. Similar classes or events often are offered on future dates.
