There are a lot of reasons to love camp. Most of them are people.

We Love Camp Weekend is our excuse to get some of those people back together. For two nights, we’re back in cabins, back around the table, back doing the camp things we’ve missed, and very much celebrating Valentine’s Day while we’re at it.

What Your Camper Will Do This Weekend

We ❤️ Camp Weekend is built around shared experiences that help kids have fun and feel part of the group right away.

Over the course of the weekend, your camper will take part in:

• Valentine-themed cabin activities like kindness notes and small group challenges
• Mardi Gras-inspired games, mask making, and a camp-style parade
• Big group games that get everyone moving, laughing, and working together
• Campfires with songs, stories, and time to wind down together
• Classic Camp Immokalee activities woven throughout the day

Because this is a shorter weekend, activities are intentionally chosen to keep kids engaged without feeling rushed. There is always a clear plan and plenty of structure, but also time for campers to relax, talk, and build friendships.

The goal is simple. Kids should go to bed tired, happy, and already feeling like they belong.

Why February Is a Great Time to Try Camp

February is a natural moment for families to pause and take stock.

School-year routines are settled, kids are ready for something fun to look forward to, and summer plans are starting to feel more real. This weekend gives your child a chance to experience overnight camp before summer decisions start to feel time-sensitive.

Summer camp registration is already open, and historically, sessions begin to fill shortly after this weekend as families finalize their plans. Attending now gives your family the chance to decide with confidence instead of feeling rushed later.

For many families, this weekend provides clarity at exactly the right moment.
