2026 GTM Adventures in the Estuary Summer Camp
Summer in St. Augustine is different. Where most Florida cities offer your typical day camp, St. Johns County and St. Augustine’s unique geography combine for a summer full of adventure.

All of these make for a summer camp landscape that is genuinely one-of-a-kind. Your child can spend a week learning to surf the same Atlantic waters that Spanish galleons once crossed, camp out at a...
