Camp begins on Monday, and after months of planning, staff training, and preparation, we are excited to welcome campers for another unforgettable summer at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.
As we celebrate our 38th summer, we are also preparing for our American Camp Association reaccreditation. Camp Live Oak has proudly maintained ACA accreditation for 37 years, meeting more than 350 standards for health, safety, staffing, and program quality, making us one of the few accredited day camps in Broward County.
This past year brought record enrollment for our Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Camps, all with waiting lists, and Summer 2026 is following the same trend. Several age groups for Week One are already at capacity, and enrollment throughout the summer continues to be strong. While openings remain in many sessions, families are encouraged to register early.
We’re especially excited about our new Camp Base Tent, which will provide additional space for activities and rainy days. Most of all, we are grateful to have an exceptional team of returning counselors and staff members ready to make this one of our best summers ever.
Camp Live Oak proudly welcomes children from all walks of life. Through the generosity of our supporters and ongoing fundraising efforts, we have been able to provide scholarships to many families in need. We are especially proud of our commitment to inclusion and the successful mainstreaming of children with autism and other special needs, creating a camp community where every child is valued, accepted, and encouraged to thrive.
For nearly four decades, Camp Live Oak has introduced children to the wonders of the outdoors while fostering friendships, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for nature. Many of our current staff members were once campers themselves, and each year we are touched to welcome former campers who now bring their own children to continue the tradition.
Our popular Salty Anglers Fishing Camp is nearly at capacity for both sessions, so families interested in joining should register soon.
At Camp Live Oak, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore, belong, and discover the gifts within themselves.
Registration is still open for many summer weeks.

Thank you to the thousands of families from all over the world who have trusted us over the past 38 summers. We look forward to another season filled with swimming, canoeing, fishing, archery, science, nature exploration, and memories that will last a lifetime.
