Swamp Safari at Everglades National Park - Sproutlings: Environmental Science & Conservation Adventure

Swamp Safari at Everglades National Park

Sproutlings: Environmental Science & Conservation Adventure

The wetlands are out of balance.

Water levels are shifting, habitats are breaking down, and pollution is threatening one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth. Ari Raider has detected instability spreading through the Everglades, where every plant, animal, and waterway depends on careful balance. The Sproutlings — protectors of life systems and natural cycles — are struggling to keep the ecosystem functioning.

In Swamp Safari at Everglades National Park, explorers travel deep into the wetlands by air boat on a high-stakes conservation mission. Students investigate how ecosystems function, how energy moves through food chains, and how human activity can harm or help the environment. Every choice relies on understanding real environmental science as explorers work to restore balance before the damage becomes permanent.

This adventure transforms conservation science into an immersive rescue mission focused on ecosystems, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.
