OKEEHEELEE NATURE DAY CAMP


Inspiring a sense of wonder and respect for all living things.

At Okeeheelee Nature Center, we invite campers to explore the world around them through hands-on, outdoor, experiential learning. In doing so we hope to inspire an appreciation and love of Florida’s wild areas and help campers develop the lifelong habit of caring for the Earth. Campers will enjoy hikes, crafts, games, field trips, and many fun activities as they learn about the great outdoors.
