Camp Highlights

Mandala campers are in full summer mode! Check out what we've been up to this week...


Campers in Rise & Thrive visited The Fresh Market to learn about making healthy food choices, embarked on a musical adventure with new instruments, practiced engaging activities and sports to build strength, and explored Academy Sports & Outdoors on a healthy habit scavenger hunt!


Wander & Wonder campers hiked through Ravine Gardens State Park and Stokes Landing Conservation Area. These nature-loving wanderers also splashed around DeLeon Springs and swam in the ocean.


Social Superstars and Connect & Create campers explored the wonders of space, even making edible constellations! Campers zoomed through a space-themed bouncy slide and imagined their very own space odyssey.


We're thrilled to work alongside our friends at Hydaway Hollow to offer Horse Camp! This week, campers enjoyed trail rides, scavenger hunts, hands-on nature activities, outdoor games, and animal encounters. Campers discovered plants, wildlife, and the quieter side of farm life while building confidence, curiosity, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

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!

CAMP COUNSELOR'S CORNER

Michael Fajardo - Rise & Thrive


In his third summer as a Mandala summer camp counselor, Michael has come to realize that the experience has shaped him just as deeply as he strives to shape the campers. What began as an opportunity to guide and support young minds has become a source of genuine joy, purpose, and personal renewal. Each day, their curiosity, resilience, and unfiltered authenticity remind Michael to stay present, lead with empathy, and appreciate the small, meaningful moments. This role has strengthened his sense of purpose, showing him that impact is not always measured in grand gestures, but in the quiet connections that leave a lasting imprint on both heart and spirit. Come join Michael in his Rise & Thrive camps this summer!

GET READY FOR NEXT WEEK

Next week is packed with more adventures and tons of fun! Camps continue with a cooking class at V Pizza, an in-house paint splatter room, and scenic trips to Talbot Island State Parks, Alexander Springs, and Cedar Point Preserve. See you at camp. :)


Oh, and don't forget water day is on Thursday!
