Started in 1995, the Discovery Club Program has evolved from weekend field trips for small groups, to a network of over 50 clubs that engage 1,300 young people between the ages of 5 and 18. Operating on 9 islands, the program is dedicated to inspiring and educating young Bahamians to become knowledgeable environmental stewards through fun, conservation-based classroom lessons, hands on activities and field trips.
