About
Camp Guaikinima offers activities such as mountain bike, art, competitions, Slip ‘n’ slide, excursions, The Beam, Pamper Pole, Bridge, and Rappel. For the mountain bike activity, each camper is given a bicycle and helmet. The camp is described as an adventure summer camp in Florida made up of a passionate and highly experienced team and is identified as a bilingual territory with activities in English and Spanish.
• Ages: 4–16 years old
• Schedule: Day Camp runs in weekly blocks Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, and Sleepaway Camp offers 3-week and 2-week sessions during the summer.
• Price: Find out about the dates and prices for the 2026 season!
Camp Guaikinima offers a Sleepaway Program with overnight stays for children between 6 and 16 years old, oriented to having fun in contact with nature, and a Day Camp Program for children between 4 and 12 years old with activities very similar to the Sleepaway Camp program, adapted to the camper’s age and physical capacity. The camp offers bilingual Spanish/English programming, with all activities, interactions, instructions, and songs in both languages, and is described as the ideal camp for parents concerned about their children's Spanish language skills. Camp Guaikinima also offers a new English-only Day Camp program at Oleta River State Park and Special Programs including a CIT Program, Leadership Workshop, Family Weekend, and GuaikiFiestas.
The camp states that it promotes self-esteem, self-confidence, successful adaptation to multiple environments, respect for others, and love of nature in campers through adventure activities that promote healthy competition and provide stimulating and unforgettable experiences and valuable learning for their personal growth. The meaning of “Guaikinima” is stated as “IN SEARCH OF FREEDOM” in the Pemón dialect.
The leadership team includes General Director and Founder/Director Raymond Cidad, who is referred to as “The Summer Camps Guru,” Co-Founder/Managing Director Isabel Bello de Cidad, Administrative Manager Hecmary Calatayud, Sleepaway Camp Coordinator Orla Andueza, and Day Camp Directors Mafe Teran, Claudia Schlaya, Michelle Dernersissian, Gerly Cabrera, Monica Perrino, and Natalia Serur. Rodrigo Cidad is certified as a Lifeguard by the American Red Cross, as a Level P3 Paragliding Pilot by the USHPA (US Hangliding and Paragliding Association), and in International Canyoning, and he has additional experience in Photography, Telecommunications, Web Programming, and Audiovisual Production. Hecmary Calatayud is graduated in Social Communication with a Corporate Specialization.
One testimonial from General Director Raymond Cidad states that he has dreamed, devised, designed, built, and directed summer camps for over 30 years and believes in the need for children to learn to handle themselves independently in natural, challenging, and controlled environments. Another testimonial from Administrative Manager Hecmary Calatayud describes her experience with Camp Guaikinima since 2017, her direct contact with parents, and her role in supporting them throughout the process of sending their children to camp.
