This year's agenda includes field trips to the Fruit and Spice Park, a visit to the new Publix Apron Cooking School and a visit to Biscayne Nature Center among many other things. There are also arts and crafts and fitness, reading and yoga.New this year is the Counselor-in-Training program where Honey Bugs entering grades 10 through 12 can enhance their leadership and communication skills.
