Florida Summer Camps
Tropical breezes, sand and surf, exotic wildlife, and a blend of vibrant cultures are just some of the things that make The Sunshine State an excellent place to spend summer, and there are many camps in Florida ready to help your kids enjoy the season to its fullest. Whether your family lives in Florida or you’d like to give your child the chance to explore a beautiful new part of the country, they’ll have an unforgettable summer at one of the local camps in our directory.
Camp Programs and Activities
Florida’s unique geography is ripe for all kinds of interesting outdoor adventures. The state is almost completely surrounded by sea, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico along the west coast and south of the Panhandle. Camps near the beach may specialize in water sports like swimming and surfing or in teaching marine biology. Campers with a particular interest in wildlife will enjoy a summer camp near the swamps in South Florida—they can wave to gators from the safety of an airboat.
Day camps are great for locals who prefer to spend afternoons with their camp mates and return home in the evenings, while out-of-state visitors and other kids looking for a more immersive experience can stay overnight at one of the sleepaway camps in our Florida index. If your child has special needs, you’ll likely be able to find a camp environment that suits them—everyone deserves to partake in the fun events and rewarding challenges summer camp offers.
