Educational Programs

Conservation Camp is a unique way for kids, ages 8-13, to get first-hand experience of what a week in the shoes of a wildlife biologist is like. At camp, students will learn real life applications of wildlife sciences, meet animal ambassadors, and have a blast working with other students that love the outdoors.

The team of dedicated scientists at The Rattlesnake Conservancy are committed to giving your child a memorable and safe experience. Their counselors are experienced working with children from all age groups and are thrilled to guide your young scientist on a journey to learn about the ecosystems of Florida, native plants and animals, and how they can be involved in conservation of wildlife and their habitat.

Learn about the physical characteristics of native animals and how different adaptations enable the animals to live in their habitats. This educational program teaches the important roles animals play in nature and how one species’ survival effects many others. We use a variety of engaging props and displays as well as live animals, to bring learning to life. 

There is also a natural history museum and live animal exhibits to see in the park.  

Tree Hill's popular Guided Trail Tours includes a 45-minute hike where visitors learn about different habitats, layers of the forest, and animals that live there. Each tour is a unique educational experience based on the time of year and time of day!
