VERO BEACH — “Lagoon Nights Sleep-Over” at the Environmental Learning Center is an opportunity for children, ages 7-13, to explore the nighttime activities of the wildlife that abound on Wabasso Island after the lights go out.
Following a pizza dinner, campers will explore the magic of the night on a hike and search for bats, owls, raccoons and bioluminescence. At 10:30 p.m., it’s lights out in a carpeted, air-conditioned classroom. In the morning following reveille, explorers will enjoy a morning expedition and farewell breakfast.
The next Lagoon Nights Sleep-Over is slated for March 9, 6 p.m. – 8:30 a.m. For organized youth groups, cost is $50/child plus $10/chaperone, including dinner and breakfast. There is a $5 discount for members.
