Located on 26 beautiful acres in Orange Park, St. Johns is convenient and offers extended care in the mornings and afternoons. Our camps make extensive use of St. Johns campus, including its sparkling pool, outdoor athletic fields, locker facilities, fine arts resources, computer labs, 3D printing lab, MakerSpace, air conditioned gyms, and 600-seat Performing Arts Center.

In addition, our early morning (7:00 a.m 9:00 a.m.) and late afternoon (3:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m.) extended care programs help fit camp into a variety of schedules. Planned excursions to nearby bowling alleys, movie theaters, and other fun spots add still more variety and enjoyment to your camper s summer.
