This event benefits the "Swamp Water And Me Program" (S.W.A.M.P.) for 6th graders in Collier County. With help from public and private donors, we strive to ensure that every 6th grader can experience a swamp walk and learn about the importance of preserving our Everglades ecosystem for future generations.
Act fast as swamp walk tickets are limited. Join us in raising funds and awareness for this vital program and enjoy a day celebrating the beauty and importance of the Big Cypress National Preserve.
We look forward to welcoming you. Questions? Give us a call (239) 695-2428.
