Camp DaySpring

Camp DaySpring is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Florida – A church called to honor and embrace all differences authentically.

Campers experience fun and challenging activities that aim to strengthen their friendships and grow their spirituality. In groups, campers learn team-building skills and are challenged on the ropes course, canoe, and kayak on the Manatee River, play games, create arts and crafts, and experience God’s love through great staff, music, and food.

​

Campers love returning to DaySpring each summer to see their old friends and make new ones. The camp sessions are led by chaplains (Episcopal Priests and Youth Ministers) that work with summer staff to offer programs that are meaningful and celebrate our Christ-centered diversity.
