Summer Camp Fun

Your child can have an incredible outdoor experience this summer and sleep at home, too.


For two special weeks this summer, Canoe Outfitters of Florida packs exciting activities like canoeing, hiking, fishing, land navigation and tracking into a fun filled summer camp for boys and girls between the ages 8 and 11 years old. Each day your child will build esteem while learning traditional outdoor skills and participating in team building challenges, games and art projects.


The beautiful Loxahatchee River and Florida (hiking) Trail near the city of Jupiter, Florida sets the stage for a fun-filled day, starting at 8:45am with a hike to our play station on Cow Pen Lake. Canoe and kayak basic skills are taught in the morning, a nice break for lunch and then fishing, navigation and hiking in the afternoon. Parents can pickup their child between 3:00pm and 3:15pm in the afternoon.

She will work with your child in small group structured activities and help them learn new skills and provide safe, fun and enriching wilderness adventures.
