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.

The first two hours consists of grooming, tacking up, and riding the horses. Then we stop for a one hour lunch break. The last hour will be a different activity each day such as: horse trivia, how to properly clean a horse, match the horse with its color, working with a horse at halter, and more. Each camp is limited to 16 students per week. If you sign up before May 1st the price is only $325. Anytime after the 1st the price is $350. A $100 deposit must be collected in order to sign up.
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!

Just like in their favorite video games, kids will be given a number of challenges throughout the day, and all the while be building their shelters before ‘night’ falls and the monsters wake up! Players will light their own campfires, ‘mine’ for resources and use sharp axes; all activities are closely supervised by experienced Forest School leaders. There’ll be plenty of time to get creative with play and imagination, of course. Wildcraft is a full week of video game inspired activities ideal for kids aged 7+ years.
Some activities include:
~Sharp tool workshop – knives, axes, and more
~Shelter building
~Fire lighting
~Wet and muddy adventuring
~Forest exploration
~Creativity, art, and imagination!
Who is this for?
If your child Ages 7+ loves playing video games like Minecraft and Fortnite, Wildcraft Adventure is the perfect way to get them off the screen and into the outdoors, all while sneakily learning about nature and outdoors skills. The game is usually played in groups of between 12 and 20 kids. Children play in teams of 4 or 5 and work together to score as many points as possible, though the emphasis is not on winning the game but on scoring points through effort, participation and being creative.
What to expect
Please be aware that Wildcraft days include several bushcraft activities including; splitting wood with a small axe, fire-lighting, den building, toasting marshmallows and whittling. Our staff are trained and experienced at tutoring children through such skills and will cater each activity to suit the child’s age and experience as appropriate. Your child’s safety is our primary concern.
What to Bring
~Water Bottle
~Lunch and Snack
~Closed toed shoes
~Personal bug spray/sunscreen (we also have some available for use)
