Circle F Dude Ranch was founded in 1952. In 2024, ownership was passed to Reed and Keely, the grandchildren of founders George and Catheryn Fischbach, with support and mentorship from their father, Dr. Dale Fischbach. The camp describes itself as one of Florida’s leading summer camps and a private group venue, with property access limited to registered guests and groups only. The program states that it has 24/7 onsite health support and thoughtful emergency plans. Every team member completes extensive training, including activity certifications and guidance on supporting kids through homesickness and everyday challenges. The camp’s mission is to provide opportunities for the emotional, physical, and social growth of campers, guests, and staff by creating a supportive environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and at home. Parents and guests are allowed to ship items to the ranch using UPS, FedEx, or the US Postal Service Monday through Saturday, and are asked to review the camp’s Package Policy before sending packages.
