Executive Director's Message


Summer has arrived, and we are ready! Our full lineup of weekly camps for 6-13-year-olds starts Monday, June 5th and we still have room for some kiddos that are ready for some outdoor, hands-on, feet-wet fun! 


May we be forever young, at heart!

Literacy on the Lagoon



The ELC participated in a summit of professionals from all areas of the community focused on youth literacy. Did you know that the ELC has a super cool summer program called Literacy on the Lagoon in partnership with the school district and the Learning Alliance? Collaboration is key to success, and we love working with our partners to make IRC the best it can be for all our residents. 



ELC Speakers 


ELC Executive Director, Barbara Schlitt Ford, recently spoke to Sunrise Rotary. Did you know we are available to speak to groups about ELC and other topics like the importance of the human/nature connection, the Indian River Lagoon, native plants and animals, the Florida Wildlife Corridor, and many others? We also can conduct private pontoon or kayak trips, or bird or nature walks at ELC or anywhere in the county.
