Club Trips 2026
Florida Wetlands & Cape Canaveral Rocket Launch 2026

Sunday January 25th to Wednesday January 28th

Date Change
Please be advised the dates for the Florida Wetlands and Cape Canaveral Rocket Launch 2026 Club Trip has been changed to January 25th thru January 28th due to a lack of accommodations in the Titusville area. The original dates for this Club Trip was February 2nd thru February 6th. Join us as we travel to the Titusville Florida area in January to photograph migrating shorebirds and other wildlife at some of our favorite destinations that include Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, Blackpoint Drive, Gator Creek, Scrub Jay Way, Orlando Wetlands and more. We are adding a new destination, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge to this year’s trip.   There may be a rocket launch scheduled during our stay, but we will not know until late December/early January if there will be a launch. The Orlando Wetlands guided tram ride tour was a popular addition in 2025. We will be arranging another one on this trip.


Hotel Information: The details on the hotel and how to make a reservation are listed on the Registration Page.
