Camp Florida takes place in Umatilla, Florida, just a short drive from Orlando. We’re excited to offer campers the chance to enjoy five days and four nights filled with fun and meaningful activities. Our goal is to create an environment where each camper can grow in their relationship with God and with one another. This year, we’ll focus on teaching God’s way of life and helping campers build their lives on the foundation of God.

Camp Florida offers a wide range of activities, including daily Christian living lessons, archery, arts and crafts, campus improvement projects, campfires, canoeing, field games, swimming and a high ropes course (for campers 9 and older).

Campers will be grouped by age, and we welcome children ages 5-12 (as of May 27). To attend, campers must have successfully slept away from parents/guardians for the length of camp and be able to shower without assistance. We also offer a “mini camper” program for children under 5, so the whole family can join in the fun.

We are always looking for enthusiastic and caring teens and adults to serve in various roles, including counselors, activity coordinators, lifeguards, and nurses. Volunteer staff should be committed to creating the safe atmosphere known as “The Zone,” which is key to the success of our camp and the camper experience. Teens ages 13-15 are welcome to serve, but must have a parent or guardian on staff.

Come join us and make memories that will last a lifetime!
