Welcome to the Future of Camp Immokalee: Our New Yurts!

Pardon Our Progress – Exciting Changes Ahead!

At YMCA Camp Immokalee, we’re always striving to enhance the camp experience for our campers, their families, and our guests. We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming addition of new yurts, set to be installed right after this summer season. These yurts are a testament to our commitment to providing innovative and comfortable accommodations that bring campers closer to nature while maintaining the sense of community that makes Camp Immokalee so special.

What is a Yurt?

A yurt is a round, tent-like structure. Our new yurts will provide a cozy, comfortable space for campers to stay in. These yurts are built with a wooden frame and covered with durable fabric, making them weather-resistant. Inside, you’ll find plenty of space, comfortable beds, and AC!

A Legacy of Growth and Improvement

Since 1909, Camp Immokalee has been dedicated to fostering youth development, building healthy spirits, minds, and bodies through a range of outdoor activities and experiences. Over the past five years, the First Coast YMCA has invested approximately $3 million into Camp Immokalee, enhancing our facilities and programs to ensure that every camper has a safe, memorable, and transformative experience.

Recent Upgrades Include:

  • New Inclusive Cabin: A modern, ADA-accessible space for campers to rest and recharge.
  • New Bathhouse: State-of-the-art facilities to ensure cleanliness and convenience.
  • New Decks for All Cabins: Beautiful outdoor spaces for campers to gather and enjoy the scenery.
  • New Docks at the Lake: Improved access for water activities like boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.
  • New Adventure Course: An exciting addition that challenges campers to push their limits and build confidence.
  • Upcoming Yurts: A unique and cozy lodging option that combines rustic charm with modern comfort.

What’s Next?

Our commitment to continuous improvement doesn’t stop here. Up next on our list are renovations for our dining hall and kybos (bathroom facilities). These upgrades will further enhance the camp experience, providing better amenities and ensuring that our facilities meet the highest standards.
