Ready for the Best Summer of Your Life?

IT STARTS WITH A FUN SUMMER

At Summerland Camps, our approach is designed to be fun, exhilarating, and motivating for all campers. We don’t believe that treatment needs to take place in a dull or uninspiring setting. We hold the philosophy that the more enjoyable the experience, the more effective it will be. By creating a positive and engaging environment, we increase the likelihood that campers will carry the activities they learned back home and reduce any resistance to the curriculum. Our activities range from hiking, camping, and mountain biking to surfing, bodyboarding, and snorkeling. Campers can also participate in activities including:

  • Hiking
  • Camping
  • Surfing & bodyboarding
  • Snorkeling
  • Fishing
  • Mountain biking
  • Canoeing & kayaking
  • Orienteering & Wilderness Survival
  • Theme parks include Kennedy Space Center, Busch Gardens, and Islands of Adventure
  • Museums and attractions include the Tampa Aquarium, Henry B Plant Museum, the Tampa Zoo, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, and the Ringling Museum

Disconnecting to Reconnect: How Summerland Camps Help Campers Thrive in Florida’s State Parks

In today’s digital world, many teens and young adults struggle with balancing screen time and engaging in real-world activities. Summerland Camps provides a life-changing opportunity for campers to step away from their devices and reconnect with themselves and nature. Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Florida’s state parks, from the pristine beaches of Sarasota to the historic charm of St. Augustine, the camps offer an ideal environment for personal growth and self-discovery.

Summerland Camps offers a unique hybrid summer camp and travel experience. Campers explore Florida’s hidden gems: state parks, pristine beaches, museums, water and theme parks, and so much more!

Florida’s diverse ecosystems provide a unique backdrop for campers to develop practical skills and build meaningful connections. Whether exploring the mangroves or bonding with peers around a campfire, each moment is an opportunity to grow socially and emotionally. Campers learn to navigate challenges without the crutch of screens, gaining confidence and resilience in the process.

At Summerland, we focus on fostering healthy screen habits and creating a balanced, fulfilling lifestyle. Campers develop life skills and learn about goal-setting and time management skills they’ll carry far beyond summer.

This isn’t just a camp, it’s a transformative experience your child will treasure for years to come.
