At our Oleta Park and Virginia Key Park headquarters, we offer mountain bike activity once a week for older campers who already know how to ride bikes. And if anyone needs more practice we help them. Each camper is given a bicycle and helmet. They go out with the counselors on a tour within the same park biking along stretches surrounded by trees.

In both sleepaway and day camps, we give importance to the development of creativity, that campers discover that artistic vein that we all have. It is ideal for campers to enjoy a quiet moment, in the shade, to talk, express their creativity and create something to take home. Campers carry out different projects: dream catchers, bracelets, bookmakers, banners, photo frames, etc.

In Guaikinima we hold many competition games in natural spaces. They learn that competition is healthy, that the goal is to always have fun. And they are motivated to do better and better.

It’s a super fun activity that our campers really like, especially to cool off from the summer heat. It is a sturdy plastic surface where water runs on the sliding surface. The Slip ‘n Slide becomes very slippery, allowing children to jump on the plastic surface and slide.

At Guaikinima we like to go on excursions to live new challenges in nature. We go to an area outside the camp, it can be to the springs, the beach or natural areas near the camp.

It is a pole placed horizontally at 18 meters, anchored to two trees. The campers climb up one of the trees until they reach the trunk and walk on it until they reach the other side and return. The counselor helps them down with the same safety rope they used since the activity began.

The Pamper Pole involves climbing 12 meters in the air and standing on top of a pole. When the climber reaches the top he must jump to take the trapeze with both hands. They have a support team to descend safely

It is a bridge made out of steel cables placed horizontally between two trees at 18 meters. There are three different challenges in it. You have to go through some swings, then you walk on a steel cable holding on to vertical ropes and then a horizontal crossing on vertical boards with holes to place feet and hands. In the end they are greeted by a counselor who will help them in the descent, after giving them a hug and congratulating them.

It’s the technique of descending with a rope. The campers securely climb a tree to reach a platform at 22 meters, there they are received by a counselor trained in the technique who outfits him with the system to descend and they go down the rope.

Water skiing is one of the most exciting water sports, but beyond adrenaline, there are a number of wonderful health benefits when practicing water skiing as a hobby.

Holding on to a piece of rope attached to a boat that goes up to 40 mph can really work and strengthen your muscles. In the camp it is excellent to overcome fears, achieve new goals and do it better and better.

Wakeboarding is a water sport in which the camper, standing on a wakeboard, is towed behind the boat through its wake and especially off the ridge for aerial maneuvers.

Improves flexibility in hands and feet, as wakeboarding requires an agile approach.

Improves reaction times and versatility, with sudden changes in direction and position required. Develop hand-eye coordination with the driver needs to stay balanced and focused.

The shooting range consists of different objects and targets for the practice of shooting with air rifles. In each practice the goal is to improve this ability.

Tubing is a super fun activity in which the camper rides on top of an inflatable over the water and is towed behind a speedboat. Up to 4 campers can ride.

Paintball is a competitive team shooting sport in which players eliminate opponents from the game by hitting them with dye-filled spherical gelatin capsules. In the camp we have a super court with ideal obstacles for the best contest.

They are surf-like boards and the activity is to stand and stay up while rowing with a single paddle. It is ideal for balancing, strengthening the muscles of the whole body, especially the arms. Campers enjoy themselves in the lagoon, cooling off as they paddle and chat.

Kneeboard is a water sport in which the pilot, kneeling on a kneeboard, is towed behind a boat through its wake and especially off the ridge for aerial maneuvers. Campers kneel on their heels on the board and secure themselves with an adjustable Velcro strap over their thighs.

Guaikinima’s paint war is epic!! Some campers have already lived it and look forward to it, the new campers are surprised and between counselors and campers, the war consists of taking marshmallows that are in a bucket full of paint and throwing it at each other. With music and running, everybody ends up full of paint and jumps into the lake to get the paint off.

Ga-ga-ga is a variant of dodgeball that is played on a ga-ga-ga court. The game combines dodge, hit, run and jump, with the objective of being the last person standing. Players hit the ball with their hands and are eliminated if the ball hits them at or below the waist.

In Guaikinima we prepare the most incredible campfires with surprise effects so that campers and guides connect with the wonders of fire. We sing around the campfire and expressed feelings and camp chants. Guaikinima’s bonfires are the best!

Guaikinima discos are the best! Every week the counselors prepare a themed disco that surprises everyone with their lights, costumes, decoration, and with the best music of the great BENA.
