Our kids are increasing disconnected from nature and the outdoors. It is a serious problem

Jack Nicklaus Foundation and FWFF are working together in South Florida to help solve this

We are rebuilding the classic EYCC location as another part of the growing FYCCN Network

Today's children are increasingly disconnected from nature. They devote nearly eight hours a day to entertainment media and "media multi-tasking," while the number who spend time hunting and fishing continues to decline dramatically. This is a problem because we know that kids who do not directly engage in the outdoors are less likely to develop a strong stewardship ethic for conserving America's wildlife. To put it plainly, if they do not make the connection, they are not going to be concerned about the wild outdoors that our generation has protected.

This bold new program jointly sponsored by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the Wildlife Foundation of Florida leads the effort to reconnect Florida's children with traditional outdoor activities.

A statewide network of conservation centers, it is designed to encourage and empower kids to participate in traditional outdoor recreation. Experts teach them how to safely enjoy the outdoor heritage we have worked so hard to maintain. The FYCCN includes Wild Outdoor Hubs offering deep-woods experiences that connect to Near Outdoor Centers offering experiences closest to children in their everyday lives.  The Everglades Youth Camp Center is being rebuilt as part of that effort.  Please join us and be a brick in the wall to support kids, rebuild the classic EYCC site and create the next generation that cares.
