From The Field to The Fun - Summer Camp Activities
On the field, your player is elevating his or her game. While off the field, we participate in camp activities unique to the region. Here are a few of our favorites offered at the Florida Overnight Camp location:
Dance Party on the Beach
We close out camp sessions with a dance party on the beach that includes: a DJ, party games, beach games, and more to keep our campers entertained with the background of party music.
Spikeball & S’mores
One of our favorite evening activities is the spikeball tournament on the beach. As the sun sets on a great day of camp, we toast marshmallows, compete in the spikeball tournament, and enjoy other fun beach games.
Pool Time
Okay it’s Florida in July… we need to keep our campers cool! We jump in the pool at least once a day to cool off in between sessions on the field.
Boating on the Gulf of Mexico
Eckerd College has a state-of-the-art boat house that gives our campers access to paddleboarding, kayaking, and even sailing instructors.
Movie Night
We kick our first day of camp off with a movie night in the auditorium. We chose a sport-oriented movie that campers of all ages love.
Camp Kickball & Shark Tank
At each Signature Sports Camp location, our campers love camp-wide kickball and Shark Tank games. With a bunch of competitors (both counselors and campers), these games get INTENSE!

We note food and dietary restrictions at registration and work with the campus dining team to ensure that all food is labeled. Additionally, we ensure that campers with food restrictions have options to select from that match their diet. For our picky eaters, campus dining teams present multiple options for each pallet. In a typical dinner, campers have access to 1-2 variations of a full meal (comprised of protein, veggies, and grains), and then supplemental options like pizza, pasta, chicken nuggets, etc.
We limit phone and technology access, but we do not restrict it. Campers may have their phones in their dorms and before bed. Campers are asked not to bring their phones to activities, meals, or on the field. For the full camp experience, we recommend campers do not bring phones (and they are always able to set up a Facetime home on a counselor’s phone). We actually see the more access the camper has to a phone, the worse the homesick feeling is.
