Summer Camps

Florida offers a wide variety of camp activities to suit every interest - tech camps, horseback riding, baseball, special needs, arts and crafts and lots more. But all of Florida's camps have one thing in common - the opportunity for kids to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors while building their self esteem.
