Day Camp
You need somewhere for your kid to go when school is out. You want them to be safe, have a good day, and hopefully come home with something to tell you besides what they watched on a screen.
We can help with that.
Day camp at YMCA Camp Immokalee gives kids a full day outside with other kids. They swim, play games, try camp activities, make friends, and get a whole lot of time to just play.
Day camp is open from 7:00 AM–6:00 PM. Financial assistance is available.
Summer Day Camp
Kids 5-14
Weekly June-August
Summer Day Camp is full-day care that actually feels like summer.
Kids get to experience swimming, zipline, canoeing and kayaking, archery, games, crafts, and plenty of time to play with other kids.
Kids 5-11 spend the day with their group and counselors, moving around camp together for activities.
Kids 12-14 join our Adventure program. They spend much of the day alongside overnight camp, with more independence and more choice in what they do.
Come for one week or spend most of the summer with us.
Winter Break Day Camp
Kids 5-14
One Week During Winter Break
Winter Break Day Camp gives kids a week outside, with other kids, right in the middle of the school year.
They’ll spend their days playing games, trying activities around Immokalee, and getting plenty of time to play before heading home each evening.
Kids 5–11 spend the day with their group and counselors, moving around camp together for activities.
Kids 12–14 join our Adventure program. They spend much of the day alongside overnight Winter Camp, with more independence and more choice in what they do.
What Does a Day Look Like?
Every day looks a little different at Camp Immokalee, but there are a few things you can count on.
Mornings start with drop-off from 7:00–8:45 AM, with games and activities campers can jump into as everyone arrives. Once the group is together, we head to breakfast and get the day going.
From there, campers spend the morning moving around camp for activities, with a stop at the Camp Store along the way. After lunch, we slow things down for some indoor time to cool off, recharge, and choose from quieter activities.
Then it’s back outside for the afternoon before pick-up from 4:30–6:00 PM, when we bring out more games and activities campers can enjoy until their grown-up arrives.
The activities change. The basic rhythm stays pretty familiar.
Day Camp vs. Day Care
For a lot of families, the search for summer care starts pretty practically. School is out. You’re working. Your kid needs somewhere to go.
Day Camp can be that somewhere.
But instead of spending the day mostly inside, kids are out at Camp Immokalee. They’re swimming, ziplining, canoeing, playing games, making things, getting dirty, and spending a whole lot of time with other kids.
And if they spend most of the summer with us, it won’t all be perfect. They’ll make friends. They’ll have disagreements. They’ll try things they’re great at and things they’re definitely not. They’ll learn how to be part of a group and how to navigate a little more of their day without you.
You needed summer care.
They got a summer.
For Kids Who Are Ready for More
By 12, spending the whole day moving from activity to activity with a counselor-led group can start to feel a little young.
That’s where Adventure comes in.
Adventure is our Day Camp program for kids ages 12–14. During Summer and Winter Camp, they spend much of their day alongside our overnight campers. They get more choice in what they do, more independence moving through camp, and a day that feels built for where they are now.
They still get the convenience of Day Camp. You drop them off in the morning, pick them up in the evening, and they sleep in their own bed.
But while they’re here, they get a little more room to make camp their own.
We’d Love to Have Them Here
Maybe you need one week covered. Maybe you’re figuring out the whole summer. Maybe your kid has been coming to Immokalee for years, or maybe you just found us because you typed “summer care” into Google.
They’re welcome here.
We’ll give them a place to spend the day outside, around other kids, doing things they probably wouldn’t be doing at home.
And at 6:00, you get them back.
