We are pleased to announce that the 2023 Florida Herbal Conference includes a very special educational Youth Program for youth ages 3-7, 8-12 and 3-16.
Youth will enjoy special classes with our herbalist teachers, activities, and fellowship, during the sessions when parents & guardians are enjoying our general workshops. A limited number of spaces will be available in this program to ensure each child has an enriching experience.
There will be three youth tracks in 2023: ages 3-7, ages 8-12, and teens 13-16. The registration fee for the 2023 Youth Program is $150 ($125 if registered before January 31). This includes camping but does not include indoor lodging or a meal plan. Snacks will be provided. An accompanying parent or guardian must be attending the conference event.
