Palm Beach County Inspiring Connections Outdoors

Directions Website

Palm Beach County Inspiring Connections Outdoors Outings range from afternoon hikes to kayaking to tent camping and more. We love to hike, canoe, kayak, bike ride, snorkel, and more. Thank you!

We are a program of volunteers by the Sierra Club that provides nature outings for kids and teens in Palm Beach County, Florida, who otherwise don't have these opportunities. Palm Beach County ICO is a program of the Sierra Club dedicated to exposing South Florida youth to the wonders of nature. We are led completely by volunteer leaders who devote their time to take youth who would not otherwise have the opportunity on safe and fun outdoor trips. Some of our great trips have been to Myakka River State Park, Johnathan Dickinson State Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, and Loggerhead Marinelife Center! If you'd like to donate to help our cause, please do so on our website page.

Another fantastic outing with the City of Greenacres, Florida - Government Youth Program. Our Inspiring Connections Outdoors program took the kids to a local native tree farm, Native Green Cay Nursery, where the kids both learned about trees and got to play on the farm equipment. Thanks as always to our volunteers and donors who make outings like this possible.

Another fantastic outing last week with the kids from the Guatemalan Maya Center. They had so much fun snorkeling and hiking at Peanut Island. Volunteers Donna and Cindy made all the arrangements, and Zara and Meg were terrific help.

Our Sierra Club Palm Beach County ICO group loved watching the kids from the Guatemala Maya Center search for shrimp and other invertebrates at Grassy Waters Preserve.
Remember, anyone can donate to help us get even more kids outdoors.

We’re so grateful for all our amazing volunteers who make our outings with area youth happen all year. It was wonderful having everyone gather for a celebration of their work and commitment. We’re especially proud of trip leader Pamela Maldonado who won the Sierra Club Florida Otter Award for her years of volunteer efforts with ICO.
