Program Overview

Kateri Environmental and Summer Programs offer year-round educational and recreational activities for children and families. Named for Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, the Native American patron saint of ecology, our programs encourage a love of nature and respect for the environment.

The Kateri programs cover a wide range of environmental topics while incorporating fun and adventure into every activity. All programs use the natural resources of Collier Youth Services’ beautiful 260-acre campus, including a pond, stream, fields and miles of nature trails to engage and educate both young and old.
