Chapters
The River Kidz program empowers students from elementary through high school to explore and protect their local environment through hands-on science and outdoor learning. Elementary chapters typically meet after school or on weekends, while middle and high school chapters usually take place during school hours. Across all chapters, students engage in kayaking, water quality testing, and wildlife research, fostering environmental stewardship and a deeper connection to the Indian River Lagoon and our planet.

We’re excited to bring the River Kidz Club to Cocoa Beach! So far, we’ve explored opportunities at Freedom 7 and local parks.
