The Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s 2017 Winter Camp registration is now open to the public. The two-day camp will be held at the Conservancy Nature Center 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 27 and 28. Geared for children in second through fifth grades, Winter Camp offers a combination of outdoor adventures, live animal encounters and engaging nature-based activities.
“Camp programs at the Conservancy offer fun opportunities for the budding environmentalist to get outside and explore the world around them,” said Rob Moher, president and CEO of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. “We look forward to taking our campers along exciting adventures as we work to educate and inspire the conservationists of tomorrow.”
During the two-day program, campers will take on the role of wildlife biologists in the field as they journey through the habitats of Southwest Florida’s wildlife, exploring the sanctuary ecosystems of birds on the move and getting an up-close view of the mighty manatee. Campers will trek on trails through estuaries and nearby rivers to observe wildlife with Conservancy naturalists as they learn how animals change their behavior in Florida’s winter season.
