Joe Budd Youth Conservation Center

Joe Budd Youth Conservation Center (JBYCC) is 12,000 pristine North Florida acres located just outside Tallahassee. Hosting summer camps, fields trips, events, retreats, as well as classroom and outdoor hands-on learning for kids of all ages, Joe Budd's is a treasure trove of both education and adventure!

JBYCC's conservation education programs are designed to give children and youth positive, memorable experiences in the outdoors. Kids are provided with all the necessary equipment and supervised instruction, from fishing to hiking, birdwatching, camping, archery, wildlife discovery, and survival skills.

JBYCC staff can structure programs to fit teacher's needs and is open to school groups Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The goal of the Joe Budd Youth Conservation Center Network education program is to complement and enhance classroom learning, educating all visitors on conservation stewardship and encouraging a lifelong delight in nature.
