All All About About Camp Camp Girl – there’s a spark in you … and here’s your chance to light it up this summer at camp! Our camp experiences are always unique and loads of fun. There’s definitely something to spark your interest. We offer tons of core camp elements and outdoor skills, like fire building, outdoor cooking, swimming, archery (age 8+), canoeing, sing-alongs and, of course, s’mores.

But it is not like having all the comforts of home. Camp isn’t air-conditioned, and summer in Florida means you’ll feel the heat and humidity. We make sure everyone rests and stays cool throughout the day but being at camp means experiencing the elements (plants, dirt, water, mud, insects, wind and some whining, too). It’s important to know this and set the expectations for a great summer experience. *Camp fees include trained staff supervision, housing, activities, program materials, meals (unless otherwise noted) and a patch.
