POV: You asked a camper to smile for a picture.

George was VERY hesitant about sleeping away from home.

But he came to camp. He stayed. And by the end of the week, he was beaming with pride over two awards he'd earned.

Then his family came to pick him up.

George hid in a closet because he didn't want to leave.

Sometimes doing the thing you're not sure you can do ends with discovering you really, really don't want it to be over.

Our favorite new tradition: Closing Ceremony! 💙

There’s something really special about having families join us Saturday morning to hear stories from the week, celebrate camper awards, and sing the Camp Immokalee song together.

We’re thankful Roland and our team figured out the parking puzzle so we could finally make this happen!

To know Callie is to love Callie! We are so amazed by Callie (and the rest of our staff!).

It’s been almost three weeks, and man, we miss this group of oldest campers. 💙 We can’t wait to have y'all back at camp!

Summer ended. Camp didn’t.

Halloween Camp. Winter Camp. Volunteer days. And, yes, we're already getting ready for Summer 2027.

Swipe through for what's coming up at Camp Immokalee this fall, save this one for later, and send it to the camp friend who needs to get some dates on the calendar.

AND because some of you are already planning next summer... 👀

Take last summer's dates and bump them forward a day. The weeks will stay the same. The themes will NOT.

I'll give you two freebies: the first and last weeks will be Color Wars. And for the real Harry Potter fans, Harry's birthday falls on a Saturday next summer. Find his birthday, find the week. ⚡️

We'll announce all nine Summer 2027 themes + dates by September 15.

For now, we've got a whole lot of Camp between here and there.
