Camp Idlewild of Florida’s mission is to provide innovative camping programs adapted for children with special needs ages 6–17, and young adults ages 18–30, which promote personal growth, challenge their abilities, and help campers develop new skills in a fun and energizing environment. The program model was developed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (including Asperger's Syndrome), Sensory Processing Disorders, Down Syndrome, and Developmental Delays, and also includes Young Adult Camp (YAC) programs for ages 18–30 on select dates. Camp Idlewild describes itself as “a special place for special kids” and states that its programs are designed knowing each child has their own set of likes and dislikes, strengths, and challenges, with a focus on activities that foster independence, meet individual needs, and promote personal growth in a fun and supportive environment. Parents and caregivers are provided with respite services while campers attend. Camp Idlewild notes that it has a Swimming Pool Fund and a pool project underway with a splash pad and swimming pool planned, along with plans for a new recreation hall to offer more engaging activities and a welcoming space. The organization also offers an option for donors to sponsor a camper to help families attend weekend and summer camps. The camp cites a history indicated by “Copyright ©2013–2026 Camp Idlewild.”
Camp Idlewild of Florida is a nonprofit organization and hosts community fundraising events, including its 8th Annual “Pull for Kids” Clay Shoot scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and the Seventh Annual Charity Golf Tournament & Silent Auction at The Groves Golf & Country Club.
