Saturday Morning with Adventure Time Eli

Get ready for an unforgettable outdoor adventure with Adventure Time Eli—the nationally recognized young conservationist, author, and turtle advocate who’s inspiring kids across the country to protect the planet.

Join Eli at Paradise Creek Nature Park for a hands‑on nature experience packed with discovery, creativity, and confidence‑building fun. Kids will:

• 🐢 Learn all about turtles and local wildlife from a real conservation leader

• 🌎 Explore how they can become powerful environmental advocates

• 🎨 Create a take‑home nature craft inspired by the world around them

• 🚶 Enjoy a guided nature walk through the beautiful trails of Paradise Creek

At just 13, Elijah Mackey—better known as Adventure Time Eli—has already spoken at major wildlife conferences like AnimalCon and been featured in media outlets nationwide. Through books, podcasts, and live events, he’s turning conservation into a kid‑powered movement that’s fun, exciting, and full of heart.

This is more than a program—it’s a spark that helps young explorers discover their voice, their passion, and their power to protect the natural world.
