About Us
MCA Total Experience is a youth-centered outdoor education organization serving Palm Beach County. We introduce young people to Florida’s natural world through hands-on experiences in fishing, archery, and conservation, building confidence, curiosity, and lifelong environmental awareness.
​
Founded on the belief that every child deserves meaningful access to the outdoors, MCA works year-round to remove barriers and open doors. Our programs blend practical skill-building with conservation education, allowing youth to pick up a fishing rod, explore local wildlife, understand how ecosystems function, and develop a healthy respect for the environment around them.
​
We partner with local schools, community organizations, outdoor agencies, and regional experts to create safe, engaging, and impactful experiences that make a lasting impact. From youth fishing clinics and archery sessions to wildlife education, water safety, and full-day outdoor workshops, MCA is committed to preparing the next generation of outdoor stewards.
​
With a growing footprint across Palm Beach County, our vision is simple:
To ensure every child has the opportunity to experience the outdoors, learn essential skills, and discover the role they can play in protecting our natural resources.
Why It Matters
Access to the outdoors isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Studies continue to demonstrate that outdoor learning enhances mental health, reduces anxiety, improves focus, and fosters social and emotional development.
​
Here’s what we do in practice:
​
Close the Access Gap
Many youth in Palm Beach County rarely experience nature in a meaningful way. MCA removes cost, transportation, and exposure barriers so every child can step outside and learn.
​
Strengthen Conservation Awareness
The next generation can’t protect what they don’t understand. MCA programs teach fundamental ecological literacy, from species identification to environmental stewardship.
​
Building Confidence and Life Skills
Fishing, archery, and outdoor challenges require kids to problem-solve, stay patient, remain calm, and conquer their fears, skills that carry throughout life.
​
Supporting Mental and Emotional Health
Nature reduces stress, improves mood, and builds resilience. For many young people, MCA becomes one of the few consistent, positive, and grounding experiences they have.
​
Investing in the Future of the Glades and Palm Beach County
The more youth connect with their environment today, the stronger the region will become tomorrow, both socially, economically, and ecologically.
