Education is a cornerstone of the Sawgrass Nature Center & Wildlife Hospital– “In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.”
The outdoor atmosphere and a wide range of activities make this camp a one-of-a-kind experience!
Camp may be canceled if we do not have the minimum number of registered campers within ONE WEEK of the scheduled camp day(s)/week.
