Since 1909, Camp Immokalee has been providing safe, fun, and high-quality summer resident camp programs for youth in Florida and around the world. Immokalee campers learn to care for themselves, others, and the world around them while building life and activity skills through camp activities. Grit, gratitude, and character are 21st-century skills every young person will need to succeed, and our camp activities are carefully designed to get kids out of their comfort zone and develop leadership skills while building community and having fun.
Campers live in cabins with other campers of their own age and gender, and under the guidance of their assigned camp counselor. Cabin life teaches young people self-sufficiency, contributing to a small community, and stewardship of their cabin and camp.
Immokalee provides campers with the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature, and through that experience, learn about themselves and connect with others. With this purpose in mind, they keep Immokalee a tech-free zone. Cell phones and other media devices are not allowed at camp in order to protect the privacy of all campers and to prevent campers from immersing in a screen instead of in the camp environment and community. Digital or disposable cameras are welcome, and allow campers to select what images they would like to share with friends and families after their time at camp is over.
At YMCA Camp Immokalee, it is the belief that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. They provide an exciting, safe community for everyone to explore the outdoors, try new things, and make lasting friendships and memories. They day camp and resident camp sessions push campers to challenge by choice. There’s truly no place like YMCA Camp Immokalee.
Camps include baseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, tennis, football, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, and dance.

Diamond D Ranch provides young people an opportunity to learn about horses and horsemanship. Our program is designed to benefit the beginner and those who already have some knowledge of horses. Participating in a horse camp is a great way to build a child’s self-confidence and help a child develop good decision making skills. Attending horse camp promotes independence while the child learns responsibility and cooperation.
Not only will your child spend HOURS in the saddle, he or she will become a cowhand for a day & take part in an old fashioned cattle drive. In addition, there will be classroom and video sessions or horse identification, anatomy, grooming, conditioning, nutrition, health, tack, and western horsemanship.
We also do many bible devotions throughout the week with our campers.
During the week – overnight campers will experience horseback riding under the moon!
