Adventure Campers at Busch Gardens get more than just an awesome summer experience. They get the satisfaction of helping conserve the planet.

Starting this weekend, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay presents the biggest names in contemporary Christian, gospel and Christian rock music for Glory at the Gardens, a jam-packed festival of music and fellowship, in Gwazi Park.

The festival kicks off on Saturday, May 1, with Dove award-nominee Matthew West as well as Brandon Heath, who won the 2009 Dove Awards for Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year, and Jonny Diaz.

Media day is quickly approaching ... it's this Friday, April 30. Then the official opening for Europe in the Air to the public is May 1. Final preparations are underway for the big opening. I had an opportunity to learn about how the ride was programmed and never would have guessed how it was done.

SeaWorld Orlando returned a mom and calf manatee pair back to nature with the help of students from Fern Creek Elementary School. The kids received a hands-on conservation lesson as animal care specialists sent Mossback and her calf Eva into the waters of Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, FL.

 

Last Friday, SeaWorld Orlando employees took part in a unique conservation-related project to help restore dead oyster reefs in the Indian River Lagoon in Central Florida. 

 

Volunteers helped make oyster shell mats that will eventually be distributed into the Mosquito Lagoon. 

A competition of steady hands and artistic engineering returns to Busch Gardens this summer for the 2nd annual “Pretzel Coaster Build-Off Contest” with Snyder's of Hanover.

SeaWorld returned three endangered sea turtles - a Kemp's Ridley and two greens - back to nature after a successful recovery stay at the park's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center. All three turtles were rescued during this winter's “cold-stunned” event when more than 300 hundred chilled turtles wound up at SeaWorld due to the unexpectedly cold and extended winter in the southeastern United States. SeaWorld has released more than 230 of the reptilian refugees back into Florida waters.

With each purchase of a $5 child's ticket, 100% of proceeds fund non-profit organizations working on wildlife conservation projects.

Summer is the perfect time for all of us to reconnect with family and friends - and to make memories that will last a lifetime.

And now, the three SeaWorld parks are rolling out an offer that comes at the perfect time for vacations and allows you and your family the chance to make a real difference for wildlife conservation.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment will host The Weather Channel this week for three mornings of live coverage, straight from the parks. Tune in daily from 7-10:00 a.m. ET, as host Nicole Mitchell explores how animals adapt to temperatures -- and how we ensure the safety of our park guests during severe weather.
