Camp Highlights

Mandala campers are cruisin' through the summer! Check out what we've been up to this week...


Campers in Rise & Thrive dressed to impress by picking out "work appropriate" clothing at Nordstrom Rack. These hard workers went on a supply scavenger hunt at Office Depot and researched timekeeping at the local library. Later in the week, some campers ventured out to the beach to enjoy some fun in the sun!


Wander & Wonder campers rode the St. John's River Ferry out to Little Talbot Island and even helped starfish make their way back to the ocean! They explored Spanish Pond Trail, cooled down in DeLeon Springs, and enjoyed a day at the beach.


Social Superstars and Connect & Create campers made their very own pizzas a V's Pizza. These chefs also crafted homemade lemonade, oatmeal banana cookies, and chocolate covered bananas. Later in the week, campers used lettuce and rosemary to create unique artwork and tended the garden!

We're thrilled to work alongside our friends at Hydaway Hollow to offer Horse Camp this summer. This week, campers focused on mindfulness and calming connections. These nature-lovers built confidence through riding, exploration, creative projects, and peaceful moments around the farm.

Are you looking for something fun your kids can do for just part of the day? Check our our enrichments! Scroll down to learn more about the Farm-to-Table Kitchen Club and the Warrior Games & Creative Club.

We want to hear from you! Keep your eye out for weekly camp surveys sent to your email. Share your feedback so we can make sure Mandala camps include the best and most enjoyable programming for your child.
