This year's YOCS's theme is Environmental Justice. Participants will generate action plans that may be used in the community, learn about Aquarium volunteer opportunities and be a part of the next generation of environmental stewards by gaining the space and skills to be more environmentally conscious.

Adults may accompany a youth participant as a paid chaperone. Registration fee includes lunch and all event activities.
