STEAMming 4Youth Success!
It is Spring Break! and you planned a family outdoors vacation to a State Park locally Markham Park, or away near the beach at St. Augustine or to Central Florida at Alexander Springs State Park, and Big Scrub State Park where ATV or motocross avid enthusiasts go for fun days away from the hustle and bustle of the city lights. So much to see in FL!
For those animal lovers, and staying local make a visit to Flamingo Gardens, the tropical botanic garden and everglades wildlife sanctuary, aviary and zoo located in West Fort Lauderdale to see the flamingos, casually walking by peacocks, a FL panther, alligator, giant turtle or visit Josh the 600-pound black bear that likes being around people🐻. A short distance away the alternative of heading to the always fun never boring drive-thru of the Lion Country Safari offering the option of an overnight stay at the park's KOA camp. A day at the Sanibel Island, Melbourne, or any of the beautiful sandy beaches in the Florida Goldcoast area.
Whether you love RV, tent or primitive camping ⛺give it a try! You will wake up listening to scary but amazing sound of the roaring lions and the unique sound of a woodpecker or Florida native birds chirping. A fabulous way to start a day in nature! surrounded by the beauty of Florida's outdoors. Now, let's join in with other families to engage our communities to help Remake Learning Days more enjoyable.
