Youth can learn how our early settlers churned butter at Heathcote Botanical Gardens, learn how to operate a sailboat with Sail Aki, brush up their golf game at Sandpiper Bay and even decorate cupcakes with the infamous Cake Lady, plus so much more. Participating businesses include: Ana's Artz, Art by Richard Edwards/Highway Men, Building Opportunities Through Golf, Elliot Museum, FAU Harbor Branch, Heathcote Botanical Gardens, Ice Cream Social, Indian River Lagoon Wildlife Boat Tour, Maison de Kallee Jackson, Manatee Center, Navy Seal Museum, Salty's Watersports, Sandpiper Bay Golf Club, Soft Skills Training (SLC Chamber), St. Lucie Cultural Alliance, St. Lucie Mets, Treasure Coast Children's Museum, Treasure Coast Pottery, and Urban Air Adventure Park."
