IN-SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Have an environmental educator come to your school! Beginning September 2021, JBYCC staff are thrilled to present their brand new in-school programming, featuring curricula correlated to Florida Science Standards and STEAM. Our schedule is flexible, accommodating a single class or several throughout a school day. While the programs are designed to be hosted outdoors, they can be modified for indoor presentation in cases of bad weather. All we need is an outdoor pavilion or open field.
