GENERAL INFORMATION
CAMP SESSIONS

Established in 1983 by the Diocese of Southwest Florida, DaySpring offers fun and meaningful experiences for children in a beautiful modern setting. Campers participate in a Christian program designed to help them grow by providing opportunities to explore new interests and develop skills and friendships in a Christian community. Our five-night/six-day sessions are offered for all students from 3rd to 12th grades, and we offer a BreakOut session for rising 3rd to 5th grade students, which lasts 3 nights/4 days.
Programs are designed and led by Episcopal clergy and youth leaders in the diocese and by college and high school-aged counselors. Campers participate in activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, low and high ropes course, arts and crafts, games, sports, archery, and environmental adventure. Meals are served buffet-style in Curry Hall three times daily.
DaySpring Episcopal Center is located on the Manatee River just off U.S. Route 301 and Interstate 75 near Ellenton at 8411 25th St. East in Parrish.
Our Camp Staff
Our dedicated and devoted camp staff prioritize the safety, care and spiritual life of the campers first. Counselors are high school graduates and junior counselors are high school aged. At least one counselor and junior counselor are assigned to supervise each of our cabins and groups of campers.
Youth Sector Improvements The spring of 2017 marked the opening of our new Program Center and Pool, which anchors the Youth Sector of DaySpring Episcopal Center. For 2018, we have renovated other campus facilities and upgraded cabins. Youth and counselors enjoy the coordinated spaces of indoor recreation, pool, sports courts, fire pits, sleeping cabins, ropes courses and waterfront. More information and photos of DaySpring are online at dayspringfla.org.
