Camp DaySpring's official website is www.DaySpringFLA.org/Camp
Campers experience fun, spiritual, and challenging activities that aim to deepen their faith and strengthen their friendships. In groups, campers learn team-building skills and are challenged on the ropes course, canoe, and kayak on the Manatee River. They play games, create arts and crafts, and experience God’s love through great music, worship, and food. The camp sessions are led by chaplains (Episcopal Priests and Youth Ministers) who work with summer staff to offer programs that are meaningful and celebrate our Christ-centered diversity.
