Aquatics Camp is the premiere day camping opportunity in the Jacksonville area for your child. Located on Doctors Lake in Orange Park, Aquatics Camp serves boys and girls ages 6-14. A camper’s day is filled with activities that bring them from the shores of Doctors Lake to the heights of our climbing wall, and from the woods of our archery range to catching some air off the back of one of our wakeboard boats. At Aquatics Camp we pride ourselves on offering a program nurtured in fun and friendship with staff that have a sincere desire to work with children. We aim to provide campers with opportunities for emotional and physical growth, encourage their natural abilities and instill the benefits of group interaction. Our ultimate goal is to provide an enjoyable, exciting summer experience that motivates our campers to approach the future with courage, confidence and a feeling of self worth.
