Volusia County, FL- Children in grades 1-5 are invited to join Volusia County’s ECHO
Rangers, an educational program that focuses on the county’s
ecological, cultural, heritage and outdoor resources.
The program is offered at more than 50 sites including parks, museums,
libraries and historical sites.
Using a “Passport to Adventures” guide, children are asked to visit
at least eight sites and participate in specially designed ECHO Rangers
activities. The program also includes 15 self-guided adventures children
can complete with their parents any time; these include hiking, biking,
fishing and creating artwork.
